document.write( "Consider these three subsets:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    a) 33 students taking English only;\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    b) 42 students taking Math only;\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    c) taking both English and Math.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "These subsets have empty intersections (obviously).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Taken together, they cover the entire set of 100 students.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, the subset of those taking both English and Math counts exactly 100 - 33 - 42 students.\r\n" );
