Club A has 17 members and Club B has 25 members. If there is a total of 38 people that belong to the two clubs, how many people

belong to both clubs?
I know the answer and the steps required to solve it but I'm uncertain about why those steps are necessary.

X = both clubs
Club B has 25 - x...u take the total and subtract the ones that are in both
Club A has 17 - x... same here ^

x + (25 - x) + (17 - x) = 38...so both + club B + club A = total
-2x + x + 42 = 38
-x = 38 - 42
-x = - 4
x = 4...so there are 4 members that belong to both clubs <==

so there are 17 - 4 = 13 in club A only
and 25 - 4 = 21 in  club B only
4 in both

13 + 21 + 4 = 38
38 = 38 (correct)

answer is : 4 in both

How do I solve for h
WITCHER [35]
All the triangles are similar, so the ratio of (long leg)/(short leg) is the same. The long leg of ΔADB is
.. AD = AC -DC = 20 -4
.. AD = 16

Then
.. (long leg)/(short leg) = AD/DB = BD/DC
.. 16/h = h/4
.. h^2 = 64
.. h = 8

Selection D is appropriate.

_____
You may see this again. The altitude (h) from the right angle in a right triangle is the geometric mean of segments AD and DC. That is,
.. h = √((AD)*(DC))

How do you compare and contrast decimals, fractions, and percents
Alisiya [41]
You would have to make them all one form that is the same, for example if you wanted to find out if 80%, 0.75, 1/2 are the same you would have to change them into the same form. If you wanted to make them all decimals it would be 0.08, 0.75, 0.5, if you wanted to make them all percents it would be 80%, 75%, 50%, you wanted them all of be a fraction it would be 4/5, 3/4, and 1/2. I hope explained this well and this helped :)
