If x represents the total number of bags a person checks and each person checks more than two bags, the equation below can be used to determine C, the total fee for all the bags.

20 + 25 + 50(x - 2) = C

Arianna paid a total of $145 to check all her bags on a flight. How many bags did she check in all?
