    Answer: The rental cost for each movie is $1.75 and the rental cost of each video game is $6.75.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    7m + 9g = 73 where m is cost of movie and g is the cost of video games

    5m + 3g = 29 solve by elimination

    7m + 9g = 73

    -3 (5m + 3g) = 29 (-3)

    7m + 9g = 73

    -15m - 9g = - 87

    -8m = - 14

    m = 1.75

    Substitute the value of m into the equation 7 (1.75) + 9g = 73

    12.25 + 9g = 73

    -12.25 - 12.25

    9g = 60.75

    g = 6.75
