<u><em>Statement B. Is correct.</em></u>
Row 15 has 41 seats, and the entire section has 493 seats.
We can write the explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence to represent this, since we add 2 each time:
13+2(n-1)
Using 15 for n,
13+2(15-1) = 13+2(14) = 13+28 = 41
To find the total number of seats, we evaluate the sum

Using technology to evaluate this sum, it is 493.
F-1(x) = (3x + 5) / 3
f-1(3) = (9 + 5) / 3 = 14/3
The answer I got is 717.64 but I could be wrong
A. Half of the original number\
