Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Her former rent is $ x

Twice the former rent: 2*x = 2x

$300 less than 2x: 2x - 300

2x - 300 = 550

Add 300 to both sides

2x - 300 + 300 = 550  + 300

                    2x = 850

Divide both sides by 2

               2x/2 = 850/2

x = 425

Her former rent = $425
