x
djembe drums. write an equation you can use to find the number of djembe drums you sold.

From the given photograph in the problem above, the cost of each macaras is $14, each set of clave cost $5. Lastly, each djembe drum costs $16. If we let x be the number of djembe drum sold, our equation would be,
                         326 = 12(14) + 6(5) + x(16)
Simplifying the right side of the equation,
                           326 = 198 + 16x
