You isolate one variable. Let's say that x will be that variable in the first equation:
x-y=1
 +y  +y
x=y+1
So now you have the equation for x.  All you have to do is substitute it into the other:
x=y+1
(y+1)+y=3
Combine like terms and solve:
2y+1=3
    -1  -1
2y=2
2y/2=2/2
y=1
Now that you have the value of one, substitute it into either of the equations to find x.
If you put it in the first:
x-1=1
 +1  +1
x=2
If you put it into the other, you would get the same answer.
Therefore, y=1 and x=2

An auditorium has 20 rows with 10 seats in the first row, 12 in the second row, 14 in the third row, and so forth. How many seat
Nina [5.8K]

Answer: there are 580 seats

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of seats in each row is increasing in arithmetic progression.

The formula for determining the sum of n terms of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as

Sn = n/2[(2a + (n - 1)d]

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

d represents the common difference.

n represents the number of terms in the sequence.

From the information given,

a = 10 seats

d = 2 seats (the seats in each row are increasing by 2)

n = 20(number of rows)

We want to determine the number of seats in 20 rows. Therefore

S20 = 20/2[(2×10 + (20 - 1)2]

S20 = 10(20 + 38) = 10×58

S = 580
