Answer provided by our tutors
let
m = the number of maple trees, m is integer
2 pine trees are being planted for every 3 maple trees:
2*(m/3) = the number of pine trees planted, 2(m/3) is integer
all together they can not be more than 300:
m + 2(m/3) <=300
by solving we find:
m <= 180

for m = 180 maple trees
2(180/3) = 120 pine trees
there will be 180 maple and 120 pine trees planted.
