Movie: $4.25

Video Game: $5.25

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we can use system of equations to solve for the rental costs of the movies and video games. Let's use x for movies and y for video games.

Equation 1

5x+3y=37

Equation 2

2x+6y=40

To start, we can use elimination to solve for x and y. Let's cancel out y. To do so, we have to multiply the first equation by 2 to get the y equal.

10x+6y=74

Now that the y are equal, we can subtract both equations.

8x=34

x=4.25

The movie rental cost is $4.25.

Now that we know x, we can plug in to find y.

2(4.25)+6y=40

8.5+6y=40

6y=31.5

y=5.25

The rental cost for video games is $5.25.
