Answer 1

To determine how many houses were built during the housing boom, you can subtract the number of houses before the boom from the number of houses after the boom.

Starting number of houses: 498
Ending number of houses: 735

Number of houses built during the boom = Ending number of houses - Starting number of houses
= 735 - 498
= 237

So, developers built 237 houses during the housing boom.
