Suppose U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} is the universal set and G = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}. What is G?

Your posted question defines G, then asks what G is.
G is the set in the definition you gave.
G = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}

Perhaps you want to know the complement of G. That is all the elements of U that are not in G.
G' = {8, 9, 10}
We know that there are 15 children altogether
We know that the number that voted for B+R is double the number of students voted for G+Y
B+R = 2(G+Y)
Think of two numbers that add up to 15, one number is twice of the other number.
For example, 6 and 12.
12 is double of 6 but 6 + 12 doesn't give 15
So, think again
for example 5 and 10
10 is double of 5 and 5+10 does give 15
So, the number that voted Red and Blue is 10 and the number that voted Yellow and Green is 5
-7/16 - 1/4 - 5/16
1. -7/16 - 4x1/4x4 - 5/16
2. -(7/16 + 4/16 + 5/16)
3. -7 + 4 + 5/16
that will add up to be 16/16 then cancel them out and you get for your answer -1
Answer:
I hope this helps a little bit.
