Problema Solution
The members of the barangay set our 432 pechay plants. The number of plants in each row was six more than the number of rows. How many plants were there in each row?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
r = the number of rows
p = the number of plants per row
the number of plants in each row was six more than the number of rows
p = 6 + r
the total number of plants is 432
p*r = 432
plug p = 6 + r into the last equation
(6 + r)*r = 432
by solving we find
r = 18 rows

p = 6 + r
p = 6 + 18
p = 24 plants per row.
