There are 3x-2 trees planted in each row of a rectangular parcel of land. If there are a total of 24x-16 trees planted in the parcel, how many rows of trees are there in the parcel?

Since there are 24x-16 total and 3x-2 in each row, we can just divide it to get the number of rows. Since 24/3 and 16/2=8, which is very convenient, we can easily find the number of rows to be 8
