An equation is formed of two equal expressions. The number of rows in the original pattern will be 4.
<h3>What is an equation?</h3>
An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.
Let the number of rows be represented by x. Now, the pattern has rows that are 5 tiles wide and an unknown number of rows. if you take these tiles and add one additional tile, you can create a pattern that has rows that are 3 tiles wide, with 3 more total rows than the original pattern. Therefore, we can write,
(Number of Tiles before) + 1 tile = (Number of Tiles afterward)
5x + 1 = 3(x+3)
5x + 1 = 3x + 9
5x - 3x = 9 - 1
2x = 8
x = 4
Hence, the number of rows in the original pattern will be 4.

if you're wondering about the restriction of x ≠ -4, is due to that would make the fraction with a denominator of 0 and thus undefined.
