Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x, then

the difference of x and 6 is x - 6 and

5 times the sum of x and 2 is 5(x + 2)

Equate both expressions

5(x + 2) = x - 6 ← distribute left side

5x + 10 = x - 6 ( subtract x from both sides )

4x + 10 = - 6 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

4x = - 16 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = - 4 → A

Let S be the universal set, where: S={1,2,3,...,18,19,20}
just olya [345]

Answer:

A∪B = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,13,14,15,16,18,20}

A∩B = {1,5,6,7,8,9,11,14,15}

Step-by-step explanation:

A∪B is the elements in A or B. So, for this question, we just need to find the numbers that are in A or B. Remember not to add anything that is not in set A or B and not write the same number twice.

A∩B is the elements in A and B. Therefore, for this question, we just need to find the numbers which appeared in both set A and B.

Hope this helps :)
