The number of seats in the first 12 rows of a high school auditorium from an arithmetic sequence. The first row has 9 seats. The second row has 11 seats.

\n" ); document.write( "b) Write an explicit formula to represent the sequence.
\n" ); document.write( "c) How many seats are in the 12th row?
\n" ); document.write( "an = a1 + (n - 1)d
\n" ); document.write( "a12 = 9 + 2(11)
\n" ); document.write( "a12=31 seats in the 12th row
\n" ); document.write( "an = 9 + 2(n - 1)
