Trees were planted on two streets. The number on the first street is 1.4 times more than on the second.

Trees were planted on two streets. The number on the first street is 1.4 times more than on the second. When 13 trees were moved from the first street to the second, it became equal. How many trees were there in each street?

1. If we take the number of trees on the second street for x pieces.

2. Then we will take the number of trees on the first street as 1.4x trees.

3. We know that 13 trees were transplanted from the first street to the second, after which the number of trees on the first street became equal to (1.4x – 13) pieces.

4. And on the second street it became (x + 13).

5. Let’s make an equation and calculate the initial number of trees on the second street, if, in the end, the number of trees on both streets turned out to be equal.

x + 13 = 1.4x – 13;

1.4x – x = 13 + 13;

0.4x = 26;

x = 26 / 0.4;

x = 65 trees.

6. Find out how many trees were on the first street.

65 * 1.4 = 91 trees.
