Whenever you sign a lease for an apartment, you typically have to pay a security deposit before you even move in; this is in case something happens while you are occupying the apartment and repairs have to be made. One apartment building has apartments that rent for $900 a month and a security deposit of $600. Write an equation to represent the situation described. F(x) = 600x + 900 F(x) = 600x - 900 F(x) = 900x - 600 F(x) = 900x + 600
Equation: (rent x months rented)+ security deposit: $900x + $600 = total money for pay
The equation essentially works out the total amount of money to be spent on the apartment by summing the months rented by the rent amount and adding that to the security deposit which is fixed.
