Answer:

x = 120 trees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the trees he has left produces 130 apples each, and he ended up with 11 700 apples, it means he has left 11 700 / 130 = 90 trees.

Now, since he lost 30 trees in the fire, it means before he had 30 more trees => 90 + 30 = 120 trees

The equation for it:

( x - 30 ) * 130 = 11 700

x - 30 = 11 700 / 130

x = 90 + 30

x = 120
