Question 1186206
.
<pre>

Simply, you should add 9 times 4 seats to 50 seats


    the number of seats in 10th row = 50 + 4*9 = 50 + 36 = 86.


The sequence of numbers, presenting seats in each row is

    50. 54, 58, 62, . . . 


each time you add 4 seats to the previous number.


It is so called arithmetic progression.


Its first term is 50.  Its common difference is 4.



The formula for the n-th term is  {{{a[n]}}} = {{{50 +4*(n-1)}}}.



For the 10th term (10th row) you have, according the formula,  {{{a[10]}}} = 50 + 4*(10-1) = 86,

exactly the same number as we obtained above.
