Complete question is;

In a class of 40 students, 17 have ridden an airplane, 28 have ridden boat, 10 have ridden a train, 12 have ridden an airplane and a boat, 3 have ridden a train only, and 4 have ridden airplane only. Some students in the class have not ridden any of the three modes of transportation and an equal number have taken all three. How many students have used all three modes of transportation?

Answer:

4 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of students who used airplane be A

Let the number of students who used boat be B

Let the number of students who used train be C

Now, we are told that 17 rode plane.

Thus; A = 17

28 rode boat; B = 28

10 rode train; C = 10

12 rode airplane and boat; A ∩ B = 12

4 rode plane only; A' = 4

3 rode boat only; C' = 3

Total number of students; T = 40

Now, total number of students is represented by;

T = A - B - C - (A ∩ B) - (B ∩ C) - (C ∩ A) + (A ∩ B ∩ C)

We don't have (B ∩ C) and (C ∩ A).

Now, the can be derived from the expression of C' which is;

C' = C - (B ∩ C) - (C ∩ A)

C' = C - [(B ∩ C) + (C ∩ A)]

We are given C' = 3 and C = 10

Thus;

3 = 10 - [(B ∩ C) + (C ∩ A)]

10 - 3 = [(B ∩ C) + (C ∩ A)]

7 = [(B ∩ C) + (C ∩ A)]

Rearranging the total number of students equation, we now have;

T = A - B - C - (A ∩ B) - [(B ∩ C) + (C ∩ A)] + (A ∩ B ∩ C)

Where;

(A ∩ B ∩ C) is the number of students that used all three modes of transportation.

Thus, plugging in the relevant values;

40 = 17 + 28 + 10 - 12 - 7 + (A ∩ B ∩ C)

40 = 36 + (A ∩ B ∩ C)

(A ∩ B ∩ C) = 40 - 36

(A ∩ B ∩ C) = 4

Can someone please help me and give me reasoning explanation for this? I’m confused.
sattari [20]
Answer is a. (-13, 12) b. (4, 11)

Step by step

When your rule is
(x,y) ➡️ (x -8, y +2)

a)
You take your input (-5, 10) and add your input rule to that input to get your output.

Input of x is -5, add x rule -8 = -13
Input of y is 10, add y rule +2 = 12

Your output or new coordinate is (-13, 12)

b) You take your input (12, 9) and add your input rule to that input to get your output.

Input of x is 12, add x rule -8 = 4
Input of y is 9, add y rule +2 = 11

Your output or new coordinate is ( 4, 11)

If your rule changes the process is still the same. Remember to watch adding or subtracting negatives. You can use a graph and plot your input and count out your “rule” to double check your work if you want.

A line passes through the point (-8, 4) and has a slope of - 5/4.
Bad White [126]

Answer:

Point-slope equation is

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

m is a slope, m=5/4

y1 = -5, x1 = 8

Point-slope equation is

y+5 = 5/4(x - 8).
