the number of elements in the union of the A sets is:5(30)−rAwhere r is the number of repeats.Likewise the number of elements in the B sets is:3n−rB
Each element in the union (in S) is repeated 10 times in A, which means if x was the real number of elements in A (not counting repeats) then 9 out of those 10 should be thrown away, or 9x. Likewise on the B side, 8x of those elements should be thrown away. so now we have:150−9x=3n−8x⟺150−x=3n⟺50−x3=n
Now, to figure out what x is, we need to use the fact that the union of a group of sets contains every member of each set. if every element in S is repeated 10 times, that means every element in the union of the A's is repeated 10 times. This means that:150 /10=15is the number of elements in the the A's without repeats counted (same for the Bs as well).So now we have:50−15 /3=n⟺n=45
Let's solve your equation step by step
-8=3-5(x+6)
Step 1: simplify both sides of the equation
-8=3-5(x+6)
-8=3+(-5)(x)+(-5(6) (distribute)
-8=3+-5x+-30
-8=(-5x)+(3+-30) (combine like terms)
-8=-5x+-27
-8=-5x-27
Step 2: flip the equation
-5x-27=-8
Step 3: add 27 to both sides
-5x-27+27=-8+27
-5x=19
Step 4: Divide both sides by -5
-5x/-5 = 19/-5
Answer : x= -19/5
