    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
