In an​ orchestra, 22 people can play stringed​ instruments, 17 can play​ brass,15 and can play percussion.​ Further, 8 of the performers can play both strings and​ brass, whereas 7 can play both strings and percussion. If no one can play all three types of​ instruments, what are the maximum and minimum numbers of people in the​ orchestra? ​(Hint​: Consider expressing the numbers in some of the regions of your diagram in terms of a single​ unknown, say​ x.)

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
