Answer:

  51

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the number of seats in a row. Then the number of rows is (s-9) and the total number of seats is ...

  s(s-9) = 2142

  s² -9s +4.5² = 2142 +4.5² . . . . . complete the square

  (s -4.5) = √2162.25 . . . . . . . . take the positive square root

  s = 4.5 +46.5 = 51 . . . . . . . add 4.5

The number of seats in each row is 51.
