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 (t) on the farm. find the initial number of trees

Respuesta :

Given:
210 produced oranges per tree.
41790 total oranges harvested

210x  = 41790
x = 41790/210
x = 199

y - 5 = x
x = 199
y - 5 = 199
y = 199 + 5
y = 204

There are originally 204 trees.

Answer: There are 204 trees in the beginning .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of trees be t

At the beginning of the season, Mac Donald had to remove 5 oranges .

Number of trees left = t-5

Number of oranges remaining trees produced = 210

Total harvest of oranges = 41790

According to question, our equation will be

[tex](t-5)210=41790\\\\t-5=\frac{41790}{210}\\\\t-5=199\\\\t=199+5\\\\t=204[/tex]

Hence, there are 204 trees in the beginning .
