Question

The loft Theater has a center seating section with 3c + 8 rows and 4c - 1 seats in each row. Write an expression for the total number of seats in the center section

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of seats = number of rows * number of seat in each row

                            = (3c + 8 )*(4c -1)

                            = 3c*(4c - 1) + 8(4c - 1)

                             = 3c*4c - 3c*1 + 8*4c - 1*8

                             = 12c² - 3c + 32c - 8

                             =12c² + 29c - 8
