\n" ); document.write( "Both of your answers are correct.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "It might help to highlight the items of interest.
\n" ); document.write( "A = { x, y, z }
\n" ); document.write( "B = { w, x, y, z }
\n" ); document.write( "which helps confirm that A is indeed a subset of B.
\n" ); document.write( "Anything inside set A is also in set B (but not vice versa).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also,
\n" ); document.write( "A = { 1, 2, 3 }
\n" ); document.write( "B = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }
\n" ); document.write( "which is another scenario when A is a subset of B.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let's look at another example
\n" ); document.write( "A = {1,2,3}
\n" ); document.write( "B = {1,2,4,5,6}
\n" ); document.write( "Highlight everything in set A. Mark those items in set B (if they exist).
\n" ); document.write( "A = {1,2,3}
\n" ); document.write( "B = {1,2,4,5,6}
\n" ); document.write( "Unfortunately the element \"3\" is not found in set B, so set A isn't a subset of B.
