The martins own a forestry field. They have grown each tree from seedlings to be harvested after a 10-year period.
\n" ); document.write( "The field contains 152 trees. The number of trees in each row is 3 more than twice the number of rows. Find the number of rows and the number of trees per row.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let # of rows be \"r\".
\n" ); document.write( "# of trees in each row = 2r+3
\n" ); document.write( "--------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "# of trees = r(2r+3) = 152
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "2r^2 + 3r - 152 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "r = 81
\n" ); document.write( "------------
