A rectangular auditorium seats 1302 people. The number of seats in each row exceeds the number of rows by 11. Find the number of seats in each row

Number of seats = 42

Seats per row x row = 1302
s x r = 1302

rows + 11 = seats per row
r + 11 = s

s x r = 1302
(r + 11) x r = 1302
r^2 + 11r = 1302
r^2 + 11r - 1302 = 0
(r + 42) x (r - 31) = 0
r = -43 or 31

Cannot have negative rows so the number of rows is 31, and the number of seats per row is 31 + 11 = 42

Check: 31 x 42 = 1302 :)

Bis the correct answer

(6,1)(5,4)slope = (4 - 1) / (5 - 6) = 3/-1 = -3y = mx + bslope(m) = -3use either of ur , = 6 and y = 1now sub and find b, the y int1 = -3(6) + b1 = -18 + b1 + 18 = b19 = bso ur equation is : y = -3x + we need it in standard formy = -3x + 3x to both sides3x + y = 19 < == standard form
