a rectangular auditorium seats 2898 people. the number of seats in each row exceeds the number of rows by 17. find the number of seats​

There are 46 rows with 63 seats in each row

Step-by-step explanation:

I started looking for a whole number dividing seats and rows to make up the two pieces we need to multiply. I started backward from 70 (lucky guess) and then worked my way down to 63 and 46.

Now I was also looking for something more elegant in an algabraic formula and I stated with x being the number of rows and the seats being (x=17)

so I started with X(X+17)=2898 but that fif sot pan out other than to take me to x squared +17 = 2898 - subtract 17 from each side xsquared equals 2916

square root of 2916 is 54 which started my searching for a random number.

I got lucky

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.

2/4 is the answer

step-by-step explanation:

x= total pieces

both ate 9 pieces

mindy ate 3 so troy ate 6

6= (1/4)x

x =24
