In a music club with 23 members, 10 people played the piano, 9 people played the guitar, and 5 people didn't play either of these two instruments. how many club members played both the piano and the guitar?

1 member played both instruments.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call:

A: the number of people that only play the piano

B: the number of people that played both

C: the number of people that only play the guitar

D: the number of people that didn't play either of these two instruments.

If the music club has 23 members, we can write the following equation:

A + B + C + D = 23      (Equation 1)

At the same way, from the sentences 10 people played the piano, 9 people played the guitar, and 5 people didn't play either of these two instruments, we can write the following equations:

A + B = 10              (Equation 2)

B + C = 9               (Equation 3)

D = 5                     (Equation 4)

So, replacing equation 2 and 4 on equation 1 and solving for C, we get:

(A+B) + C + D = 23

  10   +  C + 5 = 23

      C  +  15  = 23

       C = 23 - 15

        C =  8

Then, replacing the value of C on equation 2 and solving for B, we get:

B + C = 9

B + 8 = 9

B = 9 - 8

B = 1

Finally the number of club members that played both the piano and the guitar is 1 person.

step-by-step explanation:

because quadrilatural (idk how to spell it) means somthing that is not 3d or like, equal sides (or somthing like that   you know what i meanz)

hope this halps!

bai!

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

the domain is the set { -2, 0, 2, 3}

discussion:

the domain is the set of x values in the ordered pairs (x,y). taking the x, or first component, of each ordered pair gives   -2, 0, 2, 3.
