What is the correct simplified version of the expression 32x + 8 - 34x?
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

  -2x +8

A group of 48 senior citizens attended a baseball game. The number of women in attendance was 12 more than the number of men. Ho
Sergio [31]

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 + <em>No. of women</em> = <u>48 </u>

x +<em> x + 12</em> = <u>48</u>

2x + 12 = 48

2x = 48 - 12

    = 36

x = 36 ÷ 2

x = 18

x+12: 18 + 12 = 30

How would I do this
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

  the ramp must be lowered

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the definition of the sine function to find the height of a ramp that is 8°.

  Sine = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  sin(8°) = height/8

  height = 8×sin(8°) = 1.11

The height Nate's dad allows is 1.11 feet. At 1.5 feet, the ramp is too high.

The ramp must be lowered.
