A rectangular table seats 14 people: 1 person on each end and 6 on each of the longer sides. Thus, two tables placed end to end seat 26 people. (a) How many people can be seated if n tables are placed in a line end to end? (b) How many tables, set end to end, are required to seat 84 people? (a) If n tables are placed in a line, end to end, people can be seated. (Type an expression using n as the variable. Simplify your answer.) (b) If one table can seat 14 people, tables, set end to end, are required to seat 84 people. (Type a whole number.)
