If the lot is 5 times more than there are 6 amounts that are the same that add up to be 212,400. so 212,400/6 is 35,400. since the house is 5 times more than the lot we take 35,400 and multiply it by 5 which is 177,000 the value of the house. We can check our answer by adding 35,400 to our 177,000 and we get 212400

Answer:

$177,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent value of lot.

We have been given that the value of the house is five times the value of the lot. The value of house would be @@MATH_TOKEN_0@@.

We have been given that a house and a lot are appraised at 212,400. We can represent this information in an equation as:

@@MATH_TOKEN_1@@

@@MATH_TOKEN_2@@

@@MATH_TOKEN_3@@

@@MATH_TOKEN_4@@

Now, we will substitute @@MATH_TOKEN_5@@ in expression @@MATH_TOKEN_6@@.

@@MATH_TOKEN_7@@

Therefore, the house is worth $177,000.
