Answer:

26 rows

Step-by-step explanation:

this is like a rectangle length×width situation.

seats per row = s

number of rows = r

s × r = 884

s = r + 8

so, we can use e.g. the second equation in the first :

(r + 8) × r = 884

r² + 8r = 884

r² + 8r - 884 = 0

the general solution to such a quadratic equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

x = r

a = 1

b = 8

c = -884

r = (-8 ± sqrt(8² - 4×1×-884))/(2×1) =

= (-8 ± sqrt(64 + 3536))/2 = (-8 ± sqrt(3600))/2 =

= (-8 ± 60)/2 = -4 ± 30

r1 = -4 + 30 = 26

r2 = -4 - 30 = -34

a negative number did not make any sense for the number of rows, so r = 26 is our answer.

Find the difference: <br> 2(x-2) - 3(x-4)
cluponka [151]

Answer:

brainliest plzzzzz

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x-2) - 3(x-4)

Simplify:

2(x-2)-3(x-4)

2x-4-3(x-4)

Distribute:

2x-4-3(x-4)

2x-4-3x+12

Add the numbers:

2x-4-3x+12

2x+8-3x

Combine like terms:

2x+8-3x

-x+8

Hence Solution = -x+8

So what you would do is divide 988 by 26 and divide 731 by 17 and those two numbers you would add which gives you the amount of people that attended the performance

What is the smallest odd number with four different prime factors?
nevsk [136]
Obviously the smallest odd number we are looking for will have the SMALLEST four prime factors. 

The smallest four prime numbers are 2,3,5,7. The lowest multiple of this is 2*3*5*7 = 210 But this is an even number! 

So let's remove 2, and use the next prime number: 3,5,7,11. The lowest multiple of these is 3*5*7*11 = 1155.

A cylindrical container with a radius of 5 cm and a height of 14 cm is completely filled with liquid. Some of the liquid from th
Flura [38]

Answer:

The remaining liquid has a volume of 345.4 cm³.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question we first need to calculate the volume of each container.

Cylindrical:

Volume = h*pi*r² = 14*3.14*(5)² = 1099 cm³

Cone:

Volume = (1/3)*h*pi*r² = (1/3)*20*3.14*(6)² = 753.6 cm³

Since the liquid from the cylinder was transfered to the cone until the latter was full, then what remains in the cylinder is it's original volume minus the cone volume. So we have:

remaining liquid = 1099 - 753.6 = 345.4 cm³
