Philip pays $1620 in rent every month. this amount is $120 more than twice what his brother paul pays for rent. how much does paul pay for rent?

$750

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this problem, we need to write an equation that expresses the given information, we know that twice Paul's rent (x) plus another $120 equals Philip's rent that is $1620, so we can write that as follows:

2x+$120=$1620

isolating the "x" we have that:

2x=$1620-$120

2x=$1500

x=$750

So Paul pays $750 for rent.
