Audrey has $120 to spend on a tennis racket and lessons. The racket costs $45 and the lessons cost $15 per hour. Define the variable. Then write and solve an equation to find how many hours of lessons she can afford.
Let's use h for our variable. We know that the racket costs $45 as a flat fee. We also know that lessons are $15 per hour.
45+15h=120
From here, solve for h:
15h=120-45
Try to take it from there. Good luck!
