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

Answer :

Answer:

8  rows of trees are there in the parcel.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of trees planted in each row  = (3 x -2) trees

The total number of trees planted on  the land  = (24 x - 16)

Let us assume the total number of rows planted = m

Now,as we know:

The plants in each row x The number of rows = Total trees Planted

⇒   (3 x -2)  x (m)  =   (24 x - 16)

[tex]\implies m = \frac{24x-16}{3x-2}[/tex]

Simplifying for the value of m, we get:

[tex]m = \frac{24x - 16}{3x-2} = \frac{8(3x-2)}{3x-2} = 8\\\implies m = 8[/tex]

Hence,  the total number of rows planted = 8
