Answer 1

Answer:

 t = 204    

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t = initial number of trees

 

"remove 5 trees at the start of the season"  means

    (t    - 5)     remain

 

"each remaining tree made 210 oranges for a total of 41,790 oranges"    means

        ( t   - 5)           *        210                  = 41790

 

Now, you can solve for t:

       (t-5)(210) = 41790                     [just re-writing]

       210t - 1050 = 41790                    [distribute]

       210t = 42840                            [add 1050 to each side]

         t = 204                                  [divide each side by 210]

 

There were initially 204 trees.  After 5 were removed, the remaining 199 produced 210 oranges each for a total of 199*210 = 41790 oranges.
