In a certain conference room each row of chairs has the same number of chairs, and the number of rows is 1 less than the number of chairs in a row. How many chairs are in a row?

1)There is a total of 72 chairs

2)After 1 chair is removed from the last row, there is a total of 17 chairs in the last 2 rows
