20L = 20,000mL. 20,000 / (22+3) people = 800mL/person
X^2 + 4x - 16 - 11/(x + 2)
If James has 12 pairs of basketball shoes, then the ratio would be 3:4 which would stop at 3:12. Then the individual ratios would be 3:4, 6:8, and 9:12
So James has 9 pairs of running shoes
First, let the number of skis rented by x and the number of snowboards rented by y. We can then assemble the first equation from the amount of money made from the rentals.
44x + 58y = 2232
The second equation can come from the fact that 9 more skis were rented than snowboards.
y = x - 9
Therefore our system is:
44x + 58y = 2232
y = x - 9
