Kirsten Woodward · Answer 1

If you would like to know the equation that represents the situation described above, you can do this using the following steps:

m ... the number of months living in the apartment

d ... a security deposit

r ... rent for the apartment

t ... the total amount of money

t = m * r + d

t = m * $900 + $600

The equation that represents the situation described above would be t = m * $900 + $600.
