Question

Hue is arranging chairs. She can form 6 rows of a given length with 3 chairs left over, or 8 rows of that
same length if she gets 15 more chairs. Complete the equation and solve it to find how many chairs are inthat row length. In your equation, use the variable x to represent the number of chairs in each row.

Answer 1

Answer:

8r + 15 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

So being that they can form 6 rows but have 3 left over we know that there are more than three chairs in each row. So for example:

6r + 3 = x

or (x = chairs, r = chairs in the row)

8r + 15 = x
