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
The values of x and y are 0.2 and 0.4 respectively.
<em><u>Explanation</u></em>
The given proportions are.....
and 
From the second proportion, we will get....

Now, we will plug this
into the first proportion. So we will get....

So, the values of x and y are 0.2 and 0.4 respectively.
1 less than or greater than -2
Answer:
The best estimate of the solution ordered pair from the graph is
.
Step-by-step explanation:
See the attached graph to this question.
The graph of two straight lines are shown in the graph.
Now, the two straight lines intersect on the x-axis, so the solution ordered pairs should have y-value equals to zero.
But, there are two ordered pairs with y-value zero and they are
and
.
The best estimate of the solution ordered pairs from the graph is
.
So, this is the solution. (Answer)
