\n" ); document.write( "Label the rectangle indicating it contains 35 players.
\n" ); document.write( "Label one of the circles cricket = 30
\n" ); document.write( "Label the oter circle tennis = 20
\n" ); document.write( "Label the intersection of the circles with \"x\".
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Then
\n" ); document.write( "The cricket circle has 30-x + x players
\n" ); document.write( "The tennis circle as 20-x+x players
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "Total number of players = 35
\n" ); document.write( "30-x + x + 20-x = 35
\n" ); document.write( "-x+50 = 35
\n" ); document.write( "x = 15
