In a group of 80 people, 50 can speak Nepali, 45 can speak English and 7 of them do not speak both languages.
a) Find the number of people who speak both languages.
b) Also illustrate the above information in Venn diagram.

Universal set is 80

Number of people that speak Nepali is 50

Number of people that speak English is 45

Number of people that do not speak both is 7

a. Number of people that speak both languages is 22

b. As above

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Let make number of people that speak both languages x

To get x

(50-x) + (45-x) + x + 7 = 80

(50-x) + (45-x) + x = 80 - 7

(50-x) + (45-x) + x = 73

Open bracket

50-x+45-x+x= 73

50+45-2x+x = 73

95 - x = 73

-x = 73 - 95

-x = -22

x = 22

Therefore, number of people that speak both languages is 22

b. To get venn diagram

Number of people that speak Nepali is 50 - 22 = 28

Number of people that speak English is 45 - 22 = 23

Therefore, total = 28+23+22+7 = 80

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
