Answer:

1st row has 8 all others have 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

6 seats in the other 7 rows.

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + y = 50    where y is the number of seats in the front row and x is the number in the last 7 rows.. We have to fit whole numbers to x and y to make a total of 50.

x cannot be 7 as 7*7 is 49 which only leaves 1 for the front row.

Try x = 6:-

7*6  = 42 which leaves 8 seats in the front row.
