Answer:

22 people saw an horror movie

Step-by-step explanation:

Total people who attended the Sunday matinee = 48

People who saw romantic comedy = 3/8 of 48

= 3/8 × 48

= (3*48) / 8

= 144 / 8

= 18 people

People who saw action movie = 1/6 of 48

= 1/6 × 48

= 48/6

= 8 people

People who saw horror movie = x

Total people who attended the Sunday matinee = People who saw romantic comedy + People who saw action movie + People who saw horror movie

48 = 18 + 8 + x

48 = 26 + x

Subtract 26 from both sides

48 - 26 = 26 - 26 + x

22 = x

x = 22 people

22 people saw an horror movie
