Answer:

The theater has 32 rows

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of the sum of n terms of an arithmetic sequence is S_{n} = \frac{n}{2} (a + l), where

  • a is the first term
  • l is the last term
  • n is the number of the terms

∵ The number of seats per row follows an arithmetic sequence

∵ The first row has 26 seats

∴ a = 26

∵ The last row has 150 seats

∴ l = 150

∵ The theater seats are 2,816

∴ S_{n} = 2,816

→ Substitute these values in the rule of the sum above to find n

∵ 2,816 = \frac{n}{2}(26 + 150)

∴ 2,816 = \frac{n}{2}(176)

∴ 2,816 = 88n

→ Divide both sides by 88

∴ 32 = n

∵ n represents the number of the rows

∴ The theater has 32 rows
