Denver is planting strawberry seedlings in a new garden. He can plant 3 rows of a certain length with 2 seedlings leftover or 4 rows of the same length with 3 seedling spots left empty. What is the length, x, of each row in meters? The equation used to solve for x is?
Each row is? meters long.

Given:

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

To find:

The equation for the given problem and its solution.

Solution:

Let x be the length of each row.

Denver can plant 3 rows of a certain length with 2 seedlings leftover.

Total number of seeds he has =     ...(i)

Denver can plant 4 rows of the same length with 3 seedling spots left empty.

Total number of seeds he has =        ...(ii)

Using (i) and (ii), we get

Isolate variable terms.

Therefore, the required equation is and the values of x is 5. Each row is 5 meters long.

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x
