    M=cost per movie

    v=cost per video game

    2m+5v=33

    8m+3v=30

    use elimination

    eliminate movies

    mutliply first equation by - 4 and add to 2nd

    first equation becomes - 8m-20v=-132

    add the 2 equations

    -8m-20v=-132

    8m+3v=30 +

    0m-17v=-102

    -17v=-102

    divide both sides by - 17

    v=6

    subsiutute back

    2m+5v=33

    2m+5 (6) = 33

    2m+30=33

    minus 30 both sides

    2m=3

    divide 2

    m=1.5

    rental cost per movie is $1.50

    rental cost per video game is $6
