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.

The nile river, the longest river in the world, is 66.7x100 kilometers long. What is the nile's length?
kvasek [131]

Well if you multiply 66.7 x 100 you get 6,670.0. When multiplying by numbers like 10, 100, 1,000, etc, just simply transfer the 0's. So in this case, there are 2 0's in 100, so you add 2 of the 0's behind 66.7.  So when you add the 2 of the 0's you get 6,670.0 which should be your answer.
