There are 88 seats in a theater. The seating in the theater is split into 4 identical sections. Each section has 14 red seats and some blue seats. What unknown amounts can be found by using the diagram or reasoning about the situation?

i guess you are trying to find out what the "some blue seats are". Lets show this as x.  So you are trying to find x. Now 88 seats in the theater divided by the 4 identical sections. that would give you 22. Now like you said 14 of the seats are red..That means that we have to find out what the blue is or x. 22-14 is 8. That means that there are 8 seats left that are not red...That means that 8 seats in the theater are blue.

i get you, what you should do is think of the positive things that would come out of it. it will make yours parents proud and raise your grade. you should always try and if you can't focus tell the teacher.
