Question

(h) People of Sundergram planted trees on Van Mahotsav The number of fruit trees is
5 less than 3 times non-fruit trees. If they planted 403 trees in total, find how many
fruit trees were there. Do you like plantation? Why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

no: of non fruit trees = 102, no: of fruit trees = 301.

Step-by-step explanation:

let number of non fruit trees=X,

then the number of fruit trees will be = 3x-5.(GIVEN)

and we are said that the total number of trees are 403.

therefore: X +(3X-5) = 403. (Open brackets)

X+3x-5 = 403.

4x-5 = 403.

4x= 403+5 = 408.

X= 408/4 = 102.

therefore number of fruit trees = 3x-5 = 3(102)-5.

= 306-5 = 301.
