Question: Kennedy's house is 600 square feet larger than 4 times Benedict's house. If Kennedy's house is 10000 square feet, how many square feet is Benedict's house? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
Let the number of square feet in Benedict's house be x. So, we can write the equation 4 * x + 600 = 10000. Subtracting 600 from both sides we get 4 * x = 9400. Dividing both sides by 4 we get x = 2350 square feet. So the answer is 2350.
