At his regular hourly rate, Don had estimated the labour cost of a repair job as $336 and he was paid that amount. However, the job took 4 hours longer than he had estimated and, consequently, he earned $2 per hour less than his regular hourly rate. What was the time Don had estimated for the job, in hours?

Say the regular hourly rate was\(r\) $ and estimated time was\(t\) hours, then we would have:
\(rt=336\) and\((r-2)(t+4)=336\) ;
So,\( (r-2)(t+4)=rt\)
