At the beginning of the season, macdonald had to remove
5
orange trees from his farm. each of the remaining trees produced

210
oranges for a total harvest of
41790

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

2 equivalent expressions to represent the area of a rectangle and the top is n-3 and the side is 2

area of the rectangle = length * width

given length = n - 3

width = 2

replace it in the area

so area of the rectangle = (n-3) *2

= 2(n-3)

one of the expression is 2(n-3)

to get another expression we distribute 2 inside the parenthesis

2(n-3) is 2n - 6

so another expression is 2n - 6

two equivalent expression are

2(n - 3)   , 2n - 6

i'll be glad to : )
