Answer:

$3.02

Step-by-step explanation:

M = movie rental

M = 3.99

V = video game

3M + V = 5V - 0.11

Get the integer on one side and the terms on the other

3M + V - 5V = -0.11

3M - 4V = -0.11

Substitute 3.99 for M

3(3.99) - 4V = -0.11

11.97 - 4V = -0.11

Get the integers on one side and the terms on the other

11.97 + 0.11 - 4V = 0

11.97 + 0.11 = 4V

12.08 = 4V

12.08/4 = V

V = 3.02
