Answer:

10

Explanation:

The equation to find how much money she did get(m = months) would be m x 75 x 2 = 1500. Well, we don't know the m variable. Let's work backwards to find it. First we must divide 1500 by 2. This is 750. Know we must divide 750 by 75. This is 10. There you go! Your answer is 10.
