You are looking for an apartment and have found two places

You are looking for an apartment and have found two places that suit you. The apartment closer to school has a $1,500 security deposit and costs $1,175/month while the one farther away has a $1,000 security deposit and costs $1,200/month. How many months of rent will it take for the costs at both apartments to be the same? (Let the number of months you are renting the apartment = x. Hint: Your answer should be a whole number.)
