Answer
The rent for one month is $1150
Work Step by Step
(Let x equal the amount of rent for one month. Multiply x times 2 since 2 months are being paid for. Add 500 because they also gave the landlord 500 dollars. Set the equation to 2800 since we're told that's the total.)
$2x+500=2800$
(Subtract 500 from each side)
$2x=2300$
(Divide each side by 2)
$x=1150$
