A group of 48 senior citizens attended a baseball game. The number of women in attendance was 12 more than the number of men. How many men and women attended the baseball game?

Respuesta :

Answer:

18 men attended the baseball game, and 30 women attended the baseball game.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of men in attendance be x and the number of women in attendance be x+12.

No. of men + No. of women = 48

x + x + 12 = 48

2x + 12 = 48

2x = 48 - 12

    = 36

x = 36 ÷ 2

x = 18

x+12: 18 + 12 = 30

X+(x+12)=48
2x=48-12
X=18
