The next month she rented 3 movies and 8 video games for a total of 58.00 Find the total cost for each movie and each video game

Answer 1

The cost for each movie is $2

The cost for each video game is $6.5

Explanation:

Let

x-----> the cost for each movie

y-----> the cost for each video game

we know that

5x+2y=23 -----> equation A

3x+8y=58 -----> equation B

Solve the system of equations by graphing

Remember that

The solution of the system of equations is the interception point both graphs

The solution is the point (2,6.5)

see the attached figure

therefore

The cost for each movie is $2

The cost for each video game is $6.5
