The answer to your problem is 28.
Answer:
(a) y(x)=53+7x
(b) 179
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the first row has 60 seats and next row has 7 additional seats then we can represent it as
First row=60
Second row=60+7=67
Third row=67+7=74
The difference is always 7. If you deduct 7 from dirst row we get 60-7=53 seats
To get rhe number of seats in any row x then let y be the number of seats in row x
y=53+7(x)
For raw 1
Y=53+7(1)=60
For raw 2
Y=53+7(2)=67
Therefore, the formula for number of seats at any row will be
y(x)=53+7(x)
(b)
Using the above formula
y(x)=53+7(x)
Replace x with 18 hence
Y(18)=53+7*(18)=179 seats
The answer is -4 + 7. Because its subtracting 4 to zero which makes it -4. And then its adding 7 so the answer is -4+7
