Write an equation to determine the initial number of orange trees (t)(t)left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis on MacDonald's farm.

Answer 1

(x-555)(210)=41,790

divide both sides by 210

x-555=199

x=199+555

x=754 trees

Answer 2

210210210x = 417904179041790

÷210210210    ÷210210210

   

x=1,988,030 remaining trees

 

x+555 = 1,988,030+ 555 = 1,988,585 total trees at the beginning of the season
