Let x be the number of rows and y be the number of trees per row.

x* y = 112
and y =  2x - 2
from first equation  y = 112/x
so  112/x = 2x - 2
112 = 2x^2 - 2x
2x^2 - 2x - 112 = 0
x^2 - x - 56 = 0
(x - 8)(x + 7) = 0
x = 8 , - 7   (ignore the negative)
so the number of rows = 8 
and number of trees per row = 112/8 = 14

Answer number of rows = 8 and number trees i each row = 14.

What are the roots of the equation x^2+6x-9=10?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

-3+2sqrt7

-3-2sqrt7

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+6x-9=10

x^2+6x-9-10=0

x^2+6x-19=0

ax^2+bx+c=0

a=1 b=6 c=-19

As cannot be solved by completing square we will use quadratic equation

x= (-b+sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a     and      x= (-b-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a

x= (-6+sqrt(6^2-4*-19))/2     and      x= (-6-sqrt(6^2-4*-19))/2

x=(-6+sqrt(36+76))/2           and      x=(-6-sqrt(36+76))/2

x=(-6+4sqrt7)/2                   and       x=(-6-4sqrt7)/2

x=(-3+2sqrt7)                       and      x=(-3-2sqrt7)

x=2.29                                 and      x= -8.29
