You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x = the number of seats per row, then the number of rows is 2x
So if you multiply these two you will get the total number of seats (1352) in the auditorium.
2x%2Ax+=+1352
2x%5E2+=+1352 Divide bith sides by 2.
x%5E2+=+676 Take the square root of both sides.
x+=+26 and...
highlight%282x+=+52%29
There are 52 rows of seats.
