Answer:

Equation is 15(x-20) = 945

x = $83

Explanation:

The cost of each lesson is $x

The discounted cost = x-20

Since 15 lessons cost 945,

the equation is

15(x-20) = 945

Simplifying by multiplying the term in brackets by 15:

15x - 15(20) = 945

15x - 300 = 945

Adding 300 on both sides isolates the 15 x term

15x = 945 + 300 = 1245

15x = 1245

Dividing both sides by 15 ,
x = 1245/15 = 83

So cost of lesson before discount is $83
