Let's use "x" to represent the number of plants Rosalie has in her garden.
We know that Elizabeth has 1.7 times as many plants as Rosalie, so we can set up the equation:
1.7x = 51
To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equal sign. We can do this by dividing both sides by 1.7:
x = 30
Therefore, Rosalie has 30 plants in her garden.
