Question

A family is planting grass and a garden in the backyard. The rectangular backyard measures 131 ft by 52 ft. The garden measures 13 ft by 9 ft. What is the area of the backyard that will be grass?

Answer 1

The answer is 6,929

Answer 2

Just blurting out an answer, which btw is incorrect, serves absolutely no purpose !!!

Find the area of the whole backyard : 131 x 52 square feet
Find the area of the garden : 13 x 9 square feet

The difference between these two areas would be the area of the "grass only" part

Answer 3

A1 = 13*9 = 117 Ft.^2 = area of garden.
A2 = area of grass.
A3 = 131*52 = 6812 Ft.^2 = area of yard.

A1 + A2 = A3.
117+A2 = 6812
A2 = ___ Ft^2 = area of grass.
