The equation of the line is : y +2x = 1
The length, l, is 2 more than twice the width, w.
l= 2w+2 (2 more than twice w)
In a rectangle, we have two of the same lengths and two of the same widths.
2l+2w=34
Divide by 2 on each side.
l+w=17
We remember that l is 2w+2
Substituting that back in we get,
2w+2+w=17
3w+2=17
3w=15
w=5
We sub w back into l+w=17
l+5=17
l=12
The dimensions are 5 by 12 inches.
Find the difference per row:
10 seats in the first row
30 seats in the sixth row:
30 -10 = 20 seats difference.
6-1 = 5 rows difference.
20 seats / 5 rows = 4 seats per row.
This means for every additional row, there are 4 more seats per row.
The equation would be:
Sn = S +(n-1)*d
Where d is the difference = 4
S = number of seats from starting row = 10
n = the number of rows wanted
S(11) = 10 + (11-1)*4
S(11) = 10 + 10*4
S(11) = 10 + 40
S(11) = 50
Check:
Row 6 = 30 seats
Row 7 = 30 + 4 = 34 seats
Row 8 = 34 + 4 = 38 seats
Row 9 = 38 + 4 = 42 seats
Row 10 = 42 + 4 = 46 seats
Row 11 = 46 + 4 = 50 seats.
Steps:
1. Do a proportion
X/799.45 times 15/100
2. Do 15 times 799.45 which equals 11,991.75
3. Divide 11,991.75 by 100
4. 119. 91 is the price being taken off
5. Do 799.45 minus 119.91
6. Your answer is
$679.54
