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
12/14=6/7
Because you divide by 2.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
I use 'n' as the unknown value, but you can use any letter you want as the variable.
The product of four and a number would be represented by '4 * n'. The ideal way to write this would be '4n', even though '4 * n' is also correct in value.
The square of the number would be n². Squaring a number is multiplying a number by itself.
The phrase 'difference between...' means subtraction.
Putting it together:
"The difference between the product of 4 and a number and the square of the number" would be:
