Answer 2

Given

Along the margins of a park, a municipal corporation planted mango and guava trees. Mango trees outnumber guava trees by a factor of five. If there are 25 mango trees on the property,

To find

We have to find the guava trees​ number.

Solution

Let n be the number of guava trees​ and m be the number of mango trees.

so 2n+5 = m

When the number of mango trees is 25

then 2n+5 = 25

Simplify

2n = 20

n = 10

Hence the number of guava trees is 10.
