We learned this in the sixth grade, give me a sec till I get my text book
<span>Let the original number of seats in a row be x;
</span>Let the number rows be y;
( x + 3) * (y - 2 )= 72 and x * y = 72 => 72 + 3 * y - 2 * x = 72 => 3 * y = 2 * x;
=> x is divisible by 3;
1. x = 3 => y = 72 / 3 => y = 24;
2. x = 6 => y = 72 / 6 => y = 12;
3. x = 9 => y = 72 / 9 => y = 8;
4. x = 12 => y = 72 / 12 =. y = 6;
5. x = 24 =. y = 72 / 24 => y = 3;
6. x = 36 => y = 72 / 36 => y = 2;
7. x = 72 => y = 72 / 72 => y = 1;
My analysis tell me that the right answer is 9 seats in a row and 8 rows;
The original number in each row is 9.
Answer: $84
Step-by-step explanation: 20% of 875=175; 175+875=1050; 8% of 1050=84, so your final answer would be $84.
14 = 31.7 - 3x
-17.7 = -3x <---- I subtracted 31.7 from both sides
5.9 = x <---- I divided both sides by -3
4x = 3x+10 simplifies out to be (x = 10)
