Answer:

The largest possible number of adjacent empty chairs in a single row is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

The number of chairs = 8 × 10 = 80 chairs

The number of parents = 54

Sitting arrangements of parents = Alone or to one other person

Therefore;

The maximum number of parents on a row = 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 = 7

Hence when the rows have the maximum number of parents occupying the seats we have for the 8 rows;

7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 56

But there are only 54 parents, therefore, up to the 7th row will have 7 parents while the 8th row will have only 5 parents to make the possible sitting arrangement to be as follows;

7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 5 = 54

The sitting arrangement for the 8th row is therefore

1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 0

Hence there will be three empty seats in the 8th row making the largest possible number of adjacent empty chairs in a single row = 3.

Answer:

g(n) = \frac{11+5n}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3m - 5n = 11

Rearrange making m the subject

Add 5n to both sides

3m = 11 + 5n ( divide both sides by 3 )

m = \frac{11+5n}{3} , thus

m = g(n) = \frac{11+5n}{3}
