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
