Your family decides to rent out a room at your ski cabin. They calculate that it will cost $300 to fix up the room for new guests. Also, it will cost $30 per night to cover food and utilities. Your family decides to charge each family that rents the room $60.

Set up an equation to the model the costs of renting the room.

C = 30x + 300
