Dividing and Solving Equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve a problem involving MacDonald's farm, where he initially had a certain number of orange trees. After cutting down 5 trees, the remaining trees produced a total of 41,790 oranges, with each tree yielding 210 oranges. The tutorial sets up an equation to find the initial number of trees and demonstrates two methods to solve it: dividing both sides by 210 and distributing the 210 before solving. The solution reveals that MacDonald initially had 204 trees.

What was the initial problem MacDonald faced on his farm?

• He needed to sell oranges.

• He needed to control insects.

• He wanted to plant more trees.

• He had too many trees.
