Answer:

Tonya"s tennis Academy charges $25 per hour for lessons plus a $15 registration fee. Gerald spent a total of $290 for lessons. How many hours of lessons (h) did he take? Create an equation to determine the cost of the lessons with number of hours of lessons as the variable. Then substitute what you know and solve for hours of lessons.

its a word problem from wyzant.

Explanation:

The charge = $15 + $25h (h represents the number of hours)

$290 = $15 + $25h

$275 = $25h ( subtract $15 from both) sides

11 = h ( divide both sides by $25)
