Total cost Equation

  • 2x + 500 = 2400

The cost of the one month rent can be calculated as follows:

  • 2x + 500 = 2400
  • 2x = 2400 - 500
  • 2x = 1900
  • x = 1900 / 2
  • x = $950

Therefore, the equation that represent the scenario and cost of one month rent are as follows;

  • 2x + 500 = 2400
