A house has a front yard with an area of 4,200 ft.2 . 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
Let A be the area of the house.
Given that the front yard has an area of 4,200 ft^2, and the combined area of the house and the yard is 8 times the area of the house alone, the equation for this situation can be modeled as:
A + 4,200 = 8A
This equation represents the relationship where the combined area of the house and the yard is 8 times the area of the house alone, with the front yard area being 4,200 ft^2.
