Your answer is $600+12x

Answer 2

Answer:

The expression that represents the situation is:

                    $ 600+12x

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of lot is: $ x

This means that 12 times the lot on which it was built is: $ 12x

Also, it is given that:

A house costs $600 more than 12 times the lot on which it was built.

This means that the total cost of the house is:

600 plus the total cost of the lot on which it was built.

i.e.   The expression that represents the total cost of the house is:

                      $ 600+12x
