At the beginning of the season, MacDonald had to remove 5 orange trees from his farm. Each of the remaining trees produced 210 oranges for a total harvest of 41790 oranges.
Write an equation to determine the initial number of orange trees on MacDonald's farm.
Find the initial number of orange trees on MacDonald's farm.
Answers
Answer:
204 trees
Step-by-step explanation:
41790/210 = no of trees left now
=199 trees
So, if he had earlier removed 5 trees, the initial no of trees would be X+5 where X is the the number of trees left now.
so, X = 199(previous equation)
199 + 5 = 204

Answer:
equation:210(t−5)=41790.
Trees: 204
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t be the initial number of trees.
Hint #2
MacDonald now has t−5 trees and each one produced 210 oranges this harvest.
The total number of oranges produced is 210(t-5)
Hint #3
Since the trees produced a total of 41790 oranges, let's set this equal to 41790
Now, let's solve the equation to find the initial number of trees (t)(t)left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis.
Hint #44 / 5
210
210(t−5)
t−5
t−5+5
t
=41790
=
210
41790
=199
=199+5
=204
divide both sides by 210
add 5 to both sides
