Let m represent the price of movies.
Let v represent the price of video games.
(1)
(2) multiply this equation by 2
-----------------------------
now subtract both equations with each other
-----------------------------
Now that v is solved. Substitute v in either equation (1) or (2). I will use (2), but both should give you the same answer.
Therefore, the cost of video games is $6.50 and the cost of movies is $2.25.
Hope this helps, and you understand how to do these problems better!
