MacDonald had a farm with a certain number of orange trees.
\n" ); document.write( "He had to cut down 5 trees to control the insects.
\n" ); document.write( " Each of the remaining trees produced 210 oranges, producing a total harvest of 41,790 oranges.
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation to represent the total harvest in terms of the initial number of trees, t, on MacDonald's farm.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let t = initial number of trees
\n" ); document.write( "f(t) = total number of oranges
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "f(t) = 210(t-5) is the equation
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "When f(t) = 41790
\n" ); document.write( "210(t-5) = 41790
\n" ); document.write( "210t - 1050 = 41790
\n" ); document.write( "210t = 41790 + 1050
\n" ); document.write( "t = 42840/210
\n" ); document.write( "t = 204 trees initially \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
