You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let v = video and d = dvd
---
from the given we get
(i) 6v+%2B+12d+=+35.10
(ii) 8v+%2B+3d+=+27.95
step 1 - multiply (ii) by -4 to get
(iii) -32v+-12d+=+-111.80
step 2 - add (ii) and (iii) to get
(iv) -26v+=+-76.70
divide by -26 to get
(v) v+=+2.95
and then
(vi) d+=+1.45
