A theater can seat 160 people. The number of rows is 6 less than the number of seats in each row. How many rows of seats are there?

10 rows

Step-by-step explanation:

X=rows, y=seats

xy=160    eq1

x=y-6      eq2

y(y-6)=160       plug into eq 1

y^2-6y=160

y^2-6y-160=0

(y-16)(y+10)=0     factor

y=16, y do not equal to -10 bc it's negative

x=y-6=10

the two may have that, even a breakdown is probably offered
