Answer:
If the python has the area x sq. ft, they all have the area [tex]\dfrac{5x}{2}+538\ sq. ft.[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x sq. ft be the area the python has.
1. If the anaconda has 538 more square feet than the python, then the anaconda has (x+538) sq. ft.
2. If the python has twice as many square feet as the rattlesnake, then the rattlesnake has the area [tex]\dfrac{x}{2}\ sq. ft.[/tex]
In total they have the area
[tex]x+(x+538)+\dfrac{x}{2}=\dfrac{5x}{2}+538\ sq. ft.[/tex]
