m = the rental cost of one movie
g = the rental cost of one video game
One month Rita rented 2 movies and 12 video games for a total of $71:
2m + 12g = 71
The next month she rented 5 movies and 3 video games for a total of $29:
5m + 3g = 29
by solving the system of equations:
2m + 12g = 71
5m + 3g = 29
we find:
m = $2.5
g = $5.5
