Answer:

210t-1050=41790

t=204

Explanation:

mcdonald had to remove 5 trees at the start of the season. each remaining tree made 210 oranges for a total of 41,790 oranges.

I have tried to edit the question properly

Let's take a deep dive

let the number of trees be t

5 were removed from the his farm

210 oranges were produced at the time of harvest

to get 41790 oranges

(t-5)210=41790

open up the bracket

210t-1050=41790

210t=42840

t=204
