You can put this solution on YOUR website! you are stating that.....
there are a total of 35 students.
18 sang
19 danced
7 sand and danced.
your numbers don't add up.
first of all.
if there are 35 students total, and 18 of them sang and 19 of them danced, that gets you a total of 37 students, assuming that none of hem both sang and danced.
in order for there to be 35 students total, 2 of them must have sang and danced.
that would give you 16 who sang only and 17 who danced only and 2 who sang and danced for a total of 35 students.
if you had 18 students who sang and 19 students who danced and 7 who sang and danced, and the 7 who sang and danced were included in the number of those who sang and those who danced, then you would get:
11 sand only and 12 danced only and 7 sang and danced.
that would give you a total of 30 students.
if you had 18 students who sang and 19 students who danced and 7 who sand and danced, and the 7 who sand and danced were not included in the number of those who sang and those who danced, then you would get:
18 sand only and 19 danced only and 7 sang and danced.
that would give you a total of 44 students.
bottom line:
you have a prblem with your numbers.
it could not be 35 students.
it would only be 30 or 44.
here are my two venn diagrams that capture what i think is the case.
the first venn diagram is assuming that the 7 who sang and danced were included in the number of those who sang and those who danced.
the second venn diagram is assuming that the 7 who sang and danced were not included in the number of those who sang and those who danced.
neither of these two options will get you a total of 35 students.
you need to go back and check again what they are asking you to do.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your post does not contain a question....
18 sang and 7 sang and danced --> 11 sang but did not dance.
19 danced and 7 sang and danced --> 12 danced but did not sing.
So 12 danced only; 11 sang only, and 7 did both.
That makes a total of 30 who did one or the other; so 35-30=5 did neither.
Conclusion:
danced: 12
sang: 11
both: 7
neither: 5

You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
Having problem like this, first step is to check if the data is consistent.
So, we check how many people are engaged/involved in the described activities.
For it, we calculate the number of those, who are involved in any of singing or dancing.
Their number is 18 + 19 - 7 = 30.
It means that of the group of 35 people, 5 perform some other activities other than singing or dancing.
Now I can answer the problem's questions.
(a) To find how many sang only, subtract from singing those who involved in both singing and dancing
18 - 7 = 11 people sang only. ANSWER
(b) To find how many danced only, subtract from dancing those who involved in both singing and dancing
19 - 7 = 12 people danced only. ANSWER
(c) The number of those who neither sang or danced is 35 - 30 = 5. ANSWER
Solved anf thoroughly explained.
All question are answered.
