In order to use the elimination method<span>, you have to create variables that have the same coefficient—then you </span>can eliminate<span> them. Multiply the top </span>equation<span> by 5. Next add the </span>equations<span>, and </span>solve<span> for y. Substitute y = 10 into one of the original </span>equations<span> to find x.</span>
598,909 is the answer because when I put that for a test I got it right
The figure C is equivalent to a square
First you need to find the area of the plate.
The formula for the area of a circle is Area = pi *r^2
The radius (r) is given as 6 inches.
We will use 3.14 for pi
Area = 3.14 x 6^2
Area = 3.14 x 36
Area = 113.04 square inches.
Now to find the density, divide the total bacteria by the area:
Density = 120,000 / 113.04 = 1061.57 which rounds up to 1,062 bacteria/ square inch.
