The total number of seats in a theatre is modeled by f(x)=x^2-3x, where x represents the number of rows of seats. How many rows are there in the theatre if it has a total of 208 seats

Respuesta :

Answer:

16 rows

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 3x = 208

Subtract 208 from both sides

x² - 3x - 208 = 0

Factor

(x - 16)(x + 13) = 0

x = {-13, 16}

The number of rows must be positive

x = 16
