__________________________

Measurement of "AC" :

(x + 5) + (2x <span>− 11) ;
________________________

Find the measurement of "AB" [which is: "(x+5)" ]: 
______________________________________________
First, simplify to find the measurement of "AC" :
________________________________________
 </span>(x + 5) + (2x − 11) ;

=  (x + 5) + 1(2x − 11) ;

=   x + 5 + 2x − 11 ;

 → Combine the "like terms" ; 

   x + 2x = 3x ;
   
   5 − 11 = - 6 ;
______________
to get:  3x − 6 ; 
_______________
So,  (x + 5) + (2x − 11) =  3x − 6 ;
_______________________________
Solve for:  "(x + 5)"
_______________________________

We have: 
_______________________________

(x + 5) + (2x − 11) =  3x − 6  ;

Subtract:  "(2x − 11)" ;  from EACH SIDE of the equation ;
                                      to isolate "(x + 5)" on one side of the equation; 
                                      and to solve for "(x + 5)" ;
________________________________________________________
    →  (x + 5) + (2x − 11) − (2x − 11) =  (3x − 6) − (2x − 11) ;
  
         → (x + 5)  = (3x − 6) − (2x − 11) ;
_________________________________________________
  Note:  Simplify:  "(3x − 6) − (2x − 11)" ;

     →  (3x − 6) − (2x − 11)  ;
 
         =  (3x − 6) − 1(2x − 11) ;
 
         =   3x − 6 − 2x + 11 ;
__________________________
   →  Combine the "like terms" :
_____________________________
         +3x − 2x = 1x = x ;
  
          -6 + 11 = 5 ; 
_____________________________
To get:  x + 5 ; 

So we have:
______________________________
 x + 5 = x + 5 ; 
______________________________

So, x = all real numbers.

x = <span>ℝ </span>

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following information :

Number of oranges Ramona needs to harvest in other to cover the cost of running the orange Grove = 2616

Average number of oranges each tree bears = 62

Oranges needed for charity donation = 360

Number of orange trees needed in the Grove :

Total number of oranges needed :

(Charity + running the Grove)

(360 + 2616) = 2976 oranges

Number of trees needed = total number of oranges needed / average number of oranges beared per tree

Number of trees needed = 2976 / 62

= 48 trees

Number of trees needed ≥ 48
