2 parts.....ratio is 5:3...added = 8.....so one of the parts is 5/8 of the total...5/8x....and the other part is 3/8 of the total...3/8x
the difference is 6...
5/8x - 3/8x = 6
2/8x = 6
x = 6 * 8/2
x = 48/2
x = 24
so the total length is 24
with the longest being : 5/8(24) = 15 <==
and the shortest being : 3/8(24) = 9
9x + 3 = 7x +19
2x + 3 = 19
2x = 16
x = 8
So, x (8) is the number of chairs in each row with these setups.
Plug 8 into one of the equations and you will find how many chairs total there are.
9(8) + 3 = 75
There are 75 chairs total
The nearest 10 is 50 and the the nearest hundred is 900
(4(2)=8*8*8=512÷6=85.333333
(4-2)=2
8-2=6
8*2=16
8÷2=4
8+2=10
whichever operation it is
