You can put this solution on YOUR website!
there are 84 seedlings.

if you make 2 rows, then divide 84 by 2 and you get 42 seedlings per row.

if you make 3 rows, then divide 84 by 3 and you get 28 seedlings per row.

if you want 6 seedlings in each row, then divide 84 by 6 to get 14 rows.

the general formulas involved are:

number of seedlings in each row is equal to number of seedlings divided by number of rows.

number of rows is equal to the number of seedlings divided by number of seedlings in each row.

the number of rows times the number of seedlings in each row is equal to the number of seedlings.

all 3 of these formulas are related in that they can each be derived from each other.
