To solve this equation by elimination, what you would do is multiply one of the equations by -1, or distribute -1 to each term in the equation, any of the 2 equations. Then align the equations and add them together.
-(X + 3y = 3)
-X - 3y = -3
-X - 3y = -3
X + 6y = 3
__________
3y = 0
y = 0/3 = 0.
Now we can solve for x, by simply plugging the value of y into any of the 2 equations.
X + 6y = 3
X + 6(0) = 3
X + 0 = 3
X = 3.
The solution to your system of equations would be (3,0).
Check this by plugging in the point to the other equation and see if it is true.
X + 3y = 3
(3) + 3(0) = 3
3 + 0 = 3
3 = 3.
Thus it is the solution.
Petri dish A has 1080000000000000
Petri dish B has 270000000000
Petri dish a is greater by 1.07973E15

Hey there!!
In order to solve this question, we take the area as 196 as these are the total number of plants to cover a specific place.
The formation must be in a square formation
area of a square = ( s ) ²
s = side
or the number of plants in a row
s² = 196
s = √196
s = 14
There are 14 plants in each row
Hope my answer helps!
