a. Okay. You could draw a long rectangle, which represents the 182 seats. You will divide it into 14 sections, which will represent the equal amount of seats in each row. We would write the equation like this:
14x = 182
This is because there are 182 seats divided evenly in 14 rows, and "x" equals the number of seats in each row.
b. To solve the equation above, divide each side by 14 to isolate the "x". 182/14 is 13. We can check this by doing the opposite and multiplying 14 ad 13. .14 * 13 is 182. There. x = 13. There are 13 seats in each row.
