Question

Happy Feet Rentals charges $14 per day for snorkel gear and $16 per day to rent a wetsuit. Sam and Monica paid a total of $300 to rent a set of snorkel gear and a wetsuit each for a few days. Monica rented them for 2 days less than Sam. The following equation represents this situation, where x represents the number of days Sam rented a surfboard and a wetsuit.
