Answer:

10 rows with 6 passengers per row

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Then we can interpret the story as the following two equations:

xy=60

(x+2)(y-1)=60

Solving these two equations:

y=60/x

(x+2)(60/x-1)=60     (substitute y)

60 - x + 120/x - 2 = 60 (multiply by -x)

x² + 2x - 120 = 0     (factor)

(x-10)(x+12) = 0

x = 10

y = 60/10 = 6

and indeed 10 * 6 = 60 and also 12 * 5 = 60
