To solve this problem, we need to determine the value of x, which represents the number of cherry trees the town council originally intended to plant.
Let's break down the information given:
Number of cherry trees originally planned: x
Number of cherry trees planted: 2x (twice as many as originally planned)
Number of leaves dropped by each tree: 100
Total number of leaves dropped: 1400
We can set up the equation as follows:
Number of cherry trees planted * Number of leaves dropped per tree = Total number of leaves dropped
2x * 100 = 1400
Let's simplify and solve for x:
200x = 1400
To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by 200:
200x / 200 = 1400 / 200
x = 7
The value of x is 7.
#### 7
The answer is: 7
Below is a math problem. Provide a detailed, step-by-step solution.

### Problem:
A town council began the decade by planting cherry trees around the neighborhood to make the neighborhood look more welcoming. By the end of the decade, they have planted twice as many cherry trees as they originally planned and have now realized that falling cherry blossom leaves are causing a problem. Each tree drops 100 leaves each during the fall. If the town council originally intended to plant x cherry trees, 1400 leaves now fall from the trees.

### Answer:
