Question

a neighborhood consists of a 2 - hectare park and a 35 - hectare residential area. the total number of trees in the neighborhood is 3,934. the equation (2x + 35y = 3,934) represents this situation. which of the following is the best interpretation of (x) in this context?
a) the average number of trees per hectare in the park
b) the average number of trees per hectare in the residential area
c) the total number of trees in the park
d) the total number of trees in the residential area
