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.

How many trees did MacDonald cut down to control the insects?

• 3 trees

• 7 trees

• 5 trees

• 10 trees

What does 't' represent in the equation?

• The total number of oranges

• The initial number of trees

• The number of trees cut down

• The number of oranges per tree

What operation is performed first to solve the equation for 't'?

• Addition

• Division

• Multiplication

• Subtraction

What is the result of dividing 41,790 by 210?

• 189

• 210

• 199

• 204

What is the next step after finding 199 in the division process?

• Subtract 5

• Add 5

• Divide by 5

• Multiply by 5

What is the final number of trees MacDonald initially had?

• 210 trees

• 189 trees

• 199 trees

• 204 trees

What alternative method can be used to solve the equation?

• Using addition

• Using subtraction

• Using distribution

• Using multiplication

What is the result of adding 1,050 to both sides of the equation?

• 42,000

• 43,000

• 41,790

• 42,840

What is the final step in the alternative method to find 't'?

• Add 210

• Subtract 210

• Multiply by 210

• Divide by 210
