Answer:


m=10\\v=(10)/(3)

Explanation:

2 movies and 6 video games for $40.
2m+6v=40 5 movies and 3 video games for $25.
5m+3v=25

We set up systems of equations.


2m+6v=40


5m+3v=25


5(2m+6v=40)\\2(5m+3v=25)\\ <-- This step is done so we can make the numbers before the
m the same.


10m+30v=200\\10m+6v=50\\<-- Notice now how the numbers before the
m are the same.

Now, since the numbers before the
m are the same, we subtract to get rid of them.


24m=150

We now know that
m=10

Replace 10 as
m in the first eqation to find
v:
2(10)+6v=40

Solve


20+6v=40\\6v=20\\v=(20)/(6) = (10)/(3)

Therefore
m=10\\v=(10)/(3)
