Answer:

Rental cost of movie is $6.50 ; Rental cost of video game is $2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

4m + 8v = 61 ........ (1)

2m + 3v = 24 ........ (2)

(1) - 2 × (2)

2v = 13

v = 6.5

2m + 3(6.5) = 24

2m = 24 - 19.5

m = 4.5 ÷ 2 = 2.25

Rental cost for each movie is $6.50

Rental cost for each video game is $2.25
