IF the number of seats in a row in a movie theatre is 8 more than the number of rows, and there are 884 seats, how many rows are there?
Continuing with Melody's excellent hint, if you need help solving it, here it is:
x2+8x−884=0x=−8±√64+35362x=−8±√36002x=−8±602x=−4±30x=−34,26
Obviously, the answer cannot be -34 (imagine -34 rows). So the answer is 26.
