Aski rental store rents a pair of skis for $44 a day and a snowboard for $58 a day. yesterday, the store made $2,232 on ski and snowboard rentals. they rented 9 more pairs of skis than snowboards. write a system of equations that could be used to represent this situation and to find the number of ski rentals and snowboard rentals.

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

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3

step-by-step explanation:

rearrange these functions vertically, with like terms in separate columns:

f(x) = 5x^3 - 2

g(x) =         +1

now subtract, column by column:

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3
