Question

Algebra help please!

Answer 1

Denise is designing the seating arrangement for a concert in an outdoor theater. To give everyone a good view, each row must have six more seats than the row before it, and the first row can only have 11 seats. Help Denise plan the rest of the seating by solving for how many seats are in row 18. Then explain to Denise how to create an equation to predict the number of seats in any row. Show your work, and use complete sentences.

Answer 2

I have 113 seats will be in row 18, I'm just not sure what to do for the formula part...

Answer 3

For each additional row, the number of seats grows with a constant amount. This is characteristic for a linear equation: s = ar + b where s is the number of seats in row r, and where a and b are constants for us to figure out.

Answer 4

Okay, thank you :)

Answer 5

do u know how to figure out the constants?
