    Answer: $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.

    1620 = 2x + 120

    1500 = 2x

    x = 750

    Paul pays $750 for rent.
