How many plants x should she plant in each row so that her 25 plants end up in a square (i. e., x plants in each of x rows)? express your answer as an integer?

There are 5 plants x that should she plant in each row so that her 25 plants end up in a square (i.e., x plants in each of x rows)

Maria wants to plant a small tomato garden in her yard. She bought 25 tomato plants, and she has  read that ideally tomatoes are planted in a square grid to help them pollinate each other, as shown in the picture below.

How many plants x should she plant in each row so that her 25 plants end up in a square (i.e., x  plants in each of x rows)?  Express your answer as an integer.

If the gardener has x plants in each of her x rows, then the total number of plants will be .

Since there are 25 total plants, the correct value of x will satisfy the equation

By taking the square root of both sides and note that 25 has both a positive and a negative  square root because you can't have a negative number of plants, hence you only want the positive square  root:

You can solve this part simply by simple arithmetic.

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
