A team of glass blowers makes 24 vases per hour. At the end of each workday, they recycle their 11 least favorite vases made that day.
Let h represent the number of hours in a workday and v represent the total number of vases kept from that day.

Solve for v
And how would you write an equation for this?

If a work day were 8 hours, they would make 8*24 vases for the day.

v would be 8*24 - 11
