Answer:

Audrey can afford 4 hours of lesson.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount Audrey has to spend = $111

Cost of racket = $55

Cost per lesson = $14

Let,

y be the total cost

x be the number of hours

According to given statement;

y = 14x + 55

111 = 14x + 55

111 - 55 = 14x

14x = 56

Dividing both sides by 14

[tex]\frac{14x}{14}=\frac{56}{14}\\x=4[/tex]

Hence,

Audrey can afford 4 hours of lesson.
