Blake is signing a lease for a studio apartment that rents for $425/month.

how much will blake pay to move in if he must pay for the first and last months' rent and a security deposit equal to 50% of his monthly rent?

a. $637.50

b. $850.00

c. $1062.50

d. $1274.00

($/Month * 2)  + ($/Month * .5)

($425 * 2 ) + ($425*.5)

($850) + ($212.5) = $1062.50

Step-by-step explanation:

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
