We can model 10 as an equation
Let t be one month's rent, therefore 2t is twice the month's rent
$$2t+500=2800$$

anonymous · Answer

10. 2800-500=2 months rent (2300) 
2300/2= 1 months rent ($1150)

11. To solve this, we have to isolate the variable.
20-3h=2
First, we can subtract 20 on both sides. 
This will give us -3h= -18

Then we can divide by -3 on both sides. 
This will give us h=6

Would be better to try to let him do it on his own while we give hints, but I agree.
