One month Yolanda rented 12 movies and 2 video games for a total of $65. The next month she rented 3 movies and 5 video games for a total of $41. Find the rental cost for each movie and each video game.

Stanton D. is correct, of course!
However, if you make the assumption he recommends, then
12M + 2V = 65
3M + 5V = 41
Probably the easiest way to solve is to multiply the second equation by 4 and subtract the first equation from that. This will eliminate the M variable. You take it from here.

Cannot solve, unless you assme that all movies have the same rental cost, and all videos have the same rental cost (but, perhaps different than that of the movies). So write two equations (use your given data), using "x" and "y" as variables representing the cost per movie and video respectively, and solve the System of Equations. You know 2 ways of doing that ??? Hint: the first equation is 12x + 2y = 65 Cheers, --MR. d.03/05/21
