Answer 1

Answer:

We have a total of 7200 plants.

The plants are distributed in one field with 18 rows of 200 plants and another field with 9 rows of N plants.

Where we want to find the value of N.

The total number of plants in the rows is:

"number of rows times number of plants in each row."

Then the total number of plants is:

18*200 + 9*N

And we know that we have a total of 7200 plants, then:

18*200 + 9*N = 7200

9*N = 7200 - 18*200 = 3600

N = 3600/9 = 400

Then the plants are distributed in 18 rows of 200 plants for one field, and 9 rows of 400 plants in the other field.
