Respuesta :
The number of rows that would be needed to make use to all 48 counters is 23.
How many rows are needed?
The equation that can be used to represent the information in the question is:
total number of counters = number of counters in the first row + (rate of increase x number of rows)
48 = 3 + 2n
In order to determine the value of n, take the following steps:
Combine similar terms: 48 - 3 = 2n
Add similar terms = 45 = 2n
Divide both sides of the equation by 2; 45/2 = 22.5 = 23
