To find the number of elements in the set K U J, simply add the two sets together. However, remember to subtract the number of elements in both sets (since these elements are repeated)

In other words, use this formula:

n ( K U J) = n(K) + n(J) - n(K ∩ J)

In this case, n(K)=30, n(J)=46 and n(K ∩ J) = 11. Plug these values in to get:

n ( K U J) = 30 + 46 - 11

Add

n ( K U J) = 76 - 11

Subtract
n ( K U J) = 65

So there are 65 elements in set K U J
