You can put this solution on YOUR website! 6l+14i = 82
3l+1i = 29 multiply all times -2 and add to equation above:
-------------------
6l+14i = 82
+
-6l-2i = -58
------------
0l+12i = 24
12i = 24
i = 2 the ivy are 2. And the lilly:
6l+14i = 82
6l+14(2) = 82
6l+28 = 82
6l = 54
l = 9 The lilly are 9
----------------------------------
Check:
3l+1i = 29
3(9)+1(2) = 29 Correct.
