Final answer:

The theater has 8 blue seats in each section.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is Mathematics. We can find out the number of blue seats in each section of the theater by subtracting the number of red seats from the total number of seats in each section. Here's how:

  1. Each section has a total of 14 red seats.
  2. There are 88 seats in total, so each section has 88/4 = 22 seats.
  3. Subtract the number of red seats from the total number of seats in each section to find the number of blue seats: 22 - 14 = 8 blue seats in each section.

Therefore, each section of the theater has 8 blue seats.

i guess you are trying to find out what the "some blue seats are". Lets show this as x. So you are trying to find x. Now 88 seats in the theater divided by the 4 identical sections. that would give you 22. Now like you said 14 of the seats are red..That means that we have to find out what the blue is or x. 22-14 is 8. That means that there are 8 seats left that are not red...That means that 8 seats in the theater are blue.
