One month Rafael rented 7 movies and 9 video games for a total of $73. The next month he rented 5 movies and 3 video games for a total of $29. Find the

rental cost for each movie and each video game.

Answer: The rental cost for each movie is $1.75 and the rental cost of each video game is $6.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

7m + 9g = 73 where m is cost of movie and g is the cost of video games

5m + 3g = 29 solve by elimination

7m + 9g = 73

-3 (5m + 3g) = 29 (-3)

7m + 9g = 73

-15m - 9g = - 87

-8m = - 14

m = 1.75

Substitute the value of m into the equation 7 (1.75) + 9g = 73

12.25 + 9g = 73

-12.25 - 12.25

9g = 60.75

g = 6.75
