Answer:

5 rentals for $30

Step-by-step explanation: *using y = mx + b*

Info Given:

Video Club A-

$10 (would be your b)

$4 (would be your x)

Video Club B-

$15 (would be your b)

$3 (would be your x)

HOW TO SOLVE:

Video Club A - y = 4x + 10

Video Club B - y = 3x + 15

Set them equal to eachother to solve for x!

4x + 10 = 3x + 15

- 10 - 10

4x = 3x + 5

-3x -3x

x = 5 rentals

Plug in the x into both or just one equation to find the price!

y = 4x + 10

= 4(5) + 10

= 20 + 10

y = $30
