Answer 1

Value of house before Increase = $700000.

Explanation:

Let the value of house before increase be $x.

Increase in value = 7%of x= .07x

Value of house before increase+ Increase in value = Total value.

x+.07x=749000

Adding like terms,

1.07x=749000

Dividing both sides by 1.07.

x=700000.

Value of house before Increase = $700000.
