Define variables and write systems of equations for the situation. Solve using substitution.Suppose you want to join a video store. Big video offers a special discount card that costs $9.99 per year. With the discount card, each video rental costs $2.49. A discount card from Main Street Video cost $20.49 per year. With the Main Street Video discount card, each video rental costs $1.79. After how many video rentals is the cost the same?

A family is canoeing downstream (with the current). Their speed relative to the banks of the river averages 2.75 mi/h. During the return trip, they paddle upstream (against the current), averaging 1.5 mi/h relative to the riverbank. Write and solve a system of equations to find the family’s paddling speed in still water. Let s equal the families paddling speed and c represent the current

A
s + c = 2.75 s - c = 1.5 2.125 mi/h
B
2.75s = c 1.5s = c 1.725 mi/h
C
s + c = 2.75 c - s = 1.5 .60 mi/h
D
2.75c = s 1.5c = s 30 mi/h
