A house has a front yard with an area of 4,200 ft.2

Question

. The area of the house plus the area of the yard is 8 times the area of the house alone. What equation does this real-world situation model? Use A
for the area of the house.(1 point)

Answer 1

Let \( A \) represent the area of the house in square feet. The area of the front yard is given as 4,200 ft².

According to the information provided, the total area of the house plus the area of the yard can be expressed as: \[ A + 4200 \] It is also stated that the total area (house + yard) is 8 times the area of the house alone. This can be represented by the equation: \[ A + 4200 = 8A \]

This equation models the given real-world situation.
