Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct option is C.

Let x be the number of rows in a meeting room. If there are 4 fewer chairs laid out in each row than the number of rows, then in each row there are x-4 chairs.

The total number of chairs is

[tex]x(x-4)[/tex]

The total number of chairs in the room is 60. Hence,

[tex]x(x-4)=60[/tex]
