Each row in a theater has eight more seats than the previous row. If the first row has 14 seats, which row has 46? Show how you got the answer!!

Using equation y = 8x + 14
Trade variable y to 46 and then find the x.
46 = 8x + 14
Subtract 14 on each side
32 = 8x
Divide each side by 8
X = 4
Since the first row is (14,0), it represents 0th row, so add the x with 1 and the answer is 5. 5th row.

take the final number and subtract it from the original, then divide by 8
so 46-14= 32
32/8 = 4
to check it you multiply 4 x 8 and add it to 14. and you get 46 so the correct answer is 4
so 46-14= 32
32/8 = 4
to check it you multiply 4 x 8 and add it to 14. and you get 46 so the correct answer is 4

14+8n=46
46-14=8n
32/8
n=4
46-14=8n
32/8
n=4
