Let x = number of students enrolled in all three classes. Since students are enrolled in at least two classes, there are four categories of students summarized below. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x= Students in all three classes
\n" ); document.write( "170 -x = students in math and English but not history
\n" ); document.write( "150 - x = students in English and history but not math
\n" ); document.write( "300 - x = students in history and math but not English\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The sum of these students must equal 500.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + 170-x + 150-x + 300-x = 500
\n" ); document.write( "620-2x = 500
\n" ); document.write( "-2x = -120
\n" ); document.write( "x=60 \r
