Question 964861: the set W equals (1,3,5,7,9)
the set X equals (2,4,6,8)
the set Y equals (4,5,6,7)
how many distinct elements are in the set (X Y) W

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
We cannot tell what "(X  Y)  W" means.

It could be any of these 4.  

(X ⋂ Y) ⋂ W
(X ⋂ Y) ⋃ W
(X ⋃ Y) ⋂ W
(X ⋃ Y) ⋃ W

You can tell me in the answer note form below, and I'll get
back to you by email.  You can use the letter capital U for 
union, ⋃, and the little letter n for intersection, ⋂, like 
this:

(X n Y) n W
(X n Y) U W
(X U Y) n W
(X U Y) U W
