This can be solved using formula for Venn Diagrams:

Total = n(A)+ n(B) - n(both A and B) + n(neither A nor B)

Where, the n in front indicates number of items <u><em>[ n(A) is number of elements in set A ]</em></u>

We can take:

  • set A as students taking Ethics
  • set B as students taking Metaphysics

Given:

Tota = 15,000

n(A) = 2200

n(both A and B) = 1700

n(neither A nor B) = 9500

Substituting these into our formula, we get:

15,000=2200+n(B)-1700+9500\\15,000=n(B)+10,000\\n(B)=15,000-10,000\\n(B)=5000

Hence, 5000 students are taking metaphysics this term.

<u><em>*** If we want to know students taking </em></u><u><em>metaphysics ONLY</em></u><u><em>, we can subtract n(both A and B) from 5000. So we have 5000-1700=3300 ***</em></u>


ANSWER:

Total students taking Metaphysics = 5000

Students taking Metaphysics only = 3300

How to solve using Substitution or Elimination?<br> y=3x-1<br><br> y=2x+2
n200080 [17]

By elimination:

y = 3x - 1

y = 2x + 2

Subtract the second equation from the first

0 = x - 1

y = 2x + 2

Subtract the first equation from the second

0 = x - 1

y = x + 3

Subtract the first equation from the second again

0 = x - 1

y =      4

Subtract x from both sides of the first equation

- x =  - 1

y =      4

Divide the first equation by (-1)    

x =  1

y =  4

<h3>So, the solution is  x = 1  and  y = 4   {or: (1, 4)}</h3>
