Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total number of plants in each row.

The rows are 24 more than the total number of plants in each row.

The total number of rows is therefore given by:

= x + 24

10 plants remain in excess. So, the plants distributed are = 150 - 10 = 140

The plants distributed = x(x + 24) = x² + 24x

We equate the two to get:

x² + 24x = 140

x² + 24x - 140 = 0

This is a quadratic equation. We solve it below.

x² + 24x - 140 = 0

The roots of the quadratic equation are:

28 and 5

x² + 28x - 5x - 140 = 0

x(x + 28) - 5( x + 28) = 0

(x + 28)(x -5) = 0

x = -28 and 5

The number of plants in each row has to be a positive value.

So, we take 5

The number of plants in each row is 5.
