I don't understand how you solved this problem
I don't understand how you solved this problem
Let F stand for the area of the first house. Then 2F - 1000 = area for the second house. Both of those together = 4400.
Thus F + (2F -1000) = 4400
Does that help?
Thus F + (2F -1000) = 4400
Does that help?
