The answer to the question is -9n - 6
If you add the price of the ticket and drink it comes out to 12.25, subtract from 25 and the answer is 12.75
So, givens: total lesson cost of $260, total lessons taken are 6, and the first lesson costs 1.5 (or 3/2) as much as the additional lessons.
First thing to do is to figure out how many additional lessons are in that, which are 5.
Then you can make a 1 variable equation with the information you have. I’m using x as my variable.
260= 3/2x + 5x
Combine like terms.
260 = 13/2x
Divide both sides by 13/2 (treat it as a fraction, and if your calculator cannot make fractions, then decimal might help for this. 13/2=6.5)
X=40
