A checking account is set up with an initial balance of $4800, and $400 is removed from the account each month for rent (no other transactions occur on the account). Write an equation whose solution is the number of months, m, it takes for the account balance to reach $2000. (You do not need to solve the equation).

The equation would be the initial balance minus the monthly rent times the number of months equals $2000.

$4800-$400m=$2000
