How many visits must he make?

He receives 45 rewards points just for signing up. He earns 11.5 points for each visit to the movie theater. He needs 206 points for a free movie ticket. How many visits must Hakeem make to earn a free movie ticket?

---

x = number of visits to movie theater

11.5x + 45 = 206  {earns 11.5 per visit + 45 for signing up = 206 points needed}
11.5x = 161  {subtracted 45 from each side}
x = 14  {divided each side by 11.5}

He must make 14 visits.
