    500 + 2x = 2800

    solve for x

    x=1500

    The month's rent is $1,150.

    You would set up an equation like

    2x + 500 = 2800

    And then you would solve for x. So, you subtract 500 from both sides

    2x = 2300

    And then you know that 2300 covers two months of rent so you must divide that by two to get one month of rent

    X = 1150
