\n" ); document.write( "Draw a Venn Diagram as a rectangle with 2 interecting circles
\n" ); document.write( "in it.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "# of students:::
\n" ); document.write( "in the intersection::: x
\n" ); document.write( "in HH but not in the intersection:: 18-x
\n" ); document.write( "in RB but not in the intersection:: 12-x
\n" ); document.write( "in the area that is not HH and no RB::: 4
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "x + 18-x + 12-x + 4 = 24
\n" ); document.write( "34-24 = x
\n" ); document.write( "x = 10
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "So \"in RB but not in HH\" = 12
\n" ); document.write( "---
