Answer : The area of land a farmer own now is, 1790 acres

Step-by-step explanation :

Area of land a farmer owns = 1000 acres

Total area of land farmer buy = 120 acres + 160 acres + 700 acres

Total area of land farmer buy = 980 acres

Area of land a farmer sells = 190 acres

Thus, the remaining area of land a farmer has = Total area of land farmer buy - Area of land a farmer sells

The remaining area of land a farmer has = 980 acres - 190 acres

The remaining area of land a farmer has = 790 acres

Now we have to determine the area of land a farmer own now.

Area of land a farmer own now = 1000 acres + 790 acres

Area of land a farmer own now = 1790 acres

Therefore, the area of land a farmer own now is, 1790 acres
