Question

A theater has 675 seats. there are three times as many seats in a row as their are rows

Answer 1

Answer: 15 rows with 45 seats each

Explanation:

Let x = the number of rows, then 3x= the number of seats in a row.

seats × row= total

3x × x=675

3x²=675

x²=225

x=15

Answer 2

Explanation:

let the number of rows=x

seats in each row=3x

so number of seats=x(3x)=3x²

3x²=675

x²=225

x=15

number of rows=15

and seats in each row=15×3=45
