The answer for the question is C
The first thing we are going to do for this case is to define the following variable:
x = number of trees.
We then have that the equation that represents the problem is given by:
y = 50 (x-1) + 20
Rewriting:
y = 50x - 50 + 20
y = 50x - 30
Substituting for y = 390 we have:
390 = 50x - 30
We clear x:
x = (390 + 30) / (50)
x = 8.4
nearest whole integer
x = 8
