in a survey of 24 college student,it was found that 16 were taking and english class,17 were taking math class,and 10 were takin both english nad math.how many student were taking a math class only.

17-10

answer: 7

To determine the number of students who were taking a math class only, we need to subtract the number of students taking both English and math from the total number of students taking a math class.

Given:
Total number of students surveyed = 24
Number of students taking English class (E) = 16
Number of students taking Math class (M) = 17
Number of students taking both English and Math (E∩M) = 10

To find the number of students taking only math class (M - E∩M):
M - E∩M = 17 - 10 = 7

So, there were 7 students taking a math class only.
