You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let m represent the price of movies.
\n" ); document.write( "Let v represent the price of video games. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+4m+%2B+8v+=+61+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+2m+%2B+3v+=+24+\" multiply this equation by 2
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+4m+%2B+8v+=+61+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+4m+%2B+6v+=+48+\" now subtract both equations with each other
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+0m+%2B+2v+=+13+\"
\n" ); document.write( " \"+++++++v+=+13%2F2+\"
\n" ); document.write( " \"+++++++v+=+6.5+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "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.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"+2m+%2B+3v+=+24+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2m+%2B+3%286.5%29+=+24+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2m+%2B+19.5+=+24+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2m+=+24+-+19.5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2m+=+4.5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"++m+=+4.5%2F2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"++m+=+2.25+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, the cost of video games is $6.50 and the cost of movies is $2.25. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps, and you understand how to do these problems better!\r
