Answer:

<h2>11 rows.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • The room contains 55 chairs arranged in rows.
  • The number of rows is one more than twice the number of chairs.

We know that the total number of chairs must be the product between the number of chairs per row and the total number of rows, which can be expressed as

c \times r = 55

Where c represents the number of chairs per row and r representes the number of rows.

The second given statment defined a second equation

r=2c+1

Now, we can substitute the second equation into the first one, and solve

c \times r = 55\\c (2c+1)=55\\2c^{2}+c-55=0

Which can be factored by multiplying the expression by 2, and solve has a perfect trinomial

2(2c^{2}+c-55)=0\\2^{2}c^{2}+2c- 110=0\\(2c)^{2}+2c-110=0

So, we need to find two number which product is 110 and is 1. If you think this through, those numbers are 11 and 10, because 11*10=110 and 11-10=1.

The factors are

\frac{(2c+11)(2c-10)}{2} =0, we have to divide by the number we multiplied before, then we simplify this number with the second factor

(2c+11)(c-5)=0

Where the positive solution is the only one that can be part of the answer because it doesn't make sense if we say -3 chairs. So,

c-5=0\\c=5

This means there are 5 chairs per row.

Then, we use this value to find the other one.

c \times r=55\\5 \times r=55\\r=\frac{55}{5}\\ r=11

Therefore, there are 11 rows and 5 chairs per row.

7% of 120 (Need work shown)
inessss [21]
1% of 120 is 1.2, so 7 *1.2 = 8.4

Also you could set up the proportion 7/100 = x/120 and solve for x.

madreJ [45]
Paralell is smae slope so it is
2x+3y=c
find c

given
(9,-3)
x=9
y=-3
evaluate to find the constant, c

2(9)+3(-3)=c
18-9=c
9=c

the equation is 2x+3y=9

Find the width of the rectangular prism when the surface area is 208 square centimeters.
ozzi
SA=2(lw+wh+lh) This is the formula for finding the surface area of a rectangular prism, where SA is surface area, l is length, w is width, and h is height.

208=2(lw+wh+lh)
104=lw+wh+lh Here, I divided both sides by 2 to get ride of the 2.

Now, I used prime factorization to find out all the prime factors of 104, which are 2, 2, 2, and 13. Since rectangular prisms only have 3 dimensions, I needed to combine two of the prime factors. In this case, I can either combine 2 of the 2s to get 2, 4, and 13 or I can combine 13 with one of the 2s to get 26, 2, and 2.

If my dimensions were 2, 4, and 13...
my surface area would be 172 sq cm.

If my dimensions were 2, 2, and 26...
my surface area would be 208 sq cm.

Hence, the width of the rectangular prism when the surface area is 208 square centimeters can be either 2 or 26.
