Denver is planting strawberry seedlings in a new garden. He can plant 3 rows of a certain length with 2 seedlings left over or 4 rows of the same length with 3 seedling spots left empty. What is the length, x, of each row in meters?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The length of each row is 5 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Denver can plant 3 rows of a certain length with 2 seedlings left over and 4 rows of the same length with 3 seedling spots left empty.

Let the length of each row is x.

Case 1,

Total number of seeds = 3x+2

Case 2,

Total number of seeds = 4x-3

From both of the cases,

3x+2 = 4x-3

Taking like terms together,

3x-4x=-3-2

-x=-5

x=5

So, the length of each row is 5 m.
