Every student in the senior class is taking history or science and 85 of them are taking both. if there are 106 seniors taking history and 109 seniors taking science, how many students are in the senior class?

Number of students in senior class is 130

Solution:

Given that Every student in the senior class is taking history or science

85 of them taking both history and science

106 seniors takes history

109 seniors takes science

To find: number of students in senior class

Let A be the set of the students of the senior class that take history

Let B be the set of students of senior class that they science

The number of students in senior class is given by:

Where,

A = 106 and B = 109 and |A n B| = 85

Thus number of students in senior class is 130

whats the

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
