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.

One angle of a triangle has a measure of 36°. The measure of the third angle is 28° less than 3 times the measure of the second
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

  1. Define your variable and write your equation:  36 + b + (3b-28) = 180°.
  2. measure of the second angle: 43°.
  3. measure of the third angle: 101°

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 36

c = 3b - 28

a + b + c = 180°

a = measure of the first angle

b = measure of the second angle

c = measure of the third angle

then:

1)  36 + b + (3b-28) = 180   ⇒ )Define your variable. Write your equation and solve)

b + 3b + 36 - 28 = 180

4b + 8 = 180

4b = 180 - 8

4b = 172

b = 172/4

2)   b = 43°        ⇒   measure of the second angle

c = 3b - 28

c = 3*43 - 28

c = 129 - 28

3) c = 101°      ⇒   measure of the third angle

Check:

36° + 43° + 101° = 180°
