the movie theater had 52 more occupied seats than empty seats. there are a total of 320 seats in the theater. How many seats were occupied?

4 answers

212 seata
hint please
x + x - 52 = 320

2x = 372

x = 186

Let's check that:

186 occupied

186 - 53 = 134 are not occupied

134 + 186 = 320 seats total

S was wrong
