What i would do is count the number of seats in the fourth row, which has 13 seats. Keep doing this trick/technique until you get to get to the twenty-fourth row

Hanna:

Then do I add all the numbers up?

Ultrilliam:

I'm sure there is a much more elegant way to do this.... buuuuuut. If the first row starts at 10, and it has 24 rows, then you'll need to add it like this: 10+11+12+13+14+15+16+17 ETC Essentially increment +1 for every row (24 times) and add all the numbers up

Hanna:

Okay and could you guys explain this...

MrMudd183:

That one i am confused on, sorry...

Hanna:

It's okay thanks for your help tho

MrMudd183:

you're welcome. but thank Ultri more, because he a better job of explaining them

Ultrilliam:

Oh... Looking at it a second time it looks like it's every other odd number starting at 7. So it's like the first one but instead you need to increment from 7 by 4 every time and add it all together

Ultrilliam:

(26 times)

Hanna:

So... 7+11+15+19+23+27... Now I have have no idea what I'm doing

Ultrilliam:

Yea, and just keep incrementing until you have done it 26 times. Frankly I would write some code like this for it: ```javascript x = 7; for (i=0;i<=25;i++) { x += 4; } console.log(x); ``` There is probably a mathematical way to do it though

Hanna:

Oh okay. Thank you I understand!!

Hanna:

Thank you both for the help! @Ultrilliam @MrMudd183 I appreciate it a lot!

Ultrilliam:

No problem! :)

MrMudd183:

just looking at the coding stuff has me confused Ultri, but i kind of under stand it. and you're welcome Hanna!

MrMudd183:

understand*
