Question

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?

Answer 1

To find the number of rows, you need to divide the total number of trees (24x-16) by the number of trees per row (3x-2):


`(24x-16)/(3x-2)=8`

(because 24/3 = 8 and 16/2 = 8)

So, there are 8 rows of trees.
