the math class had 29 enrolled students while 34 students were enrolled into both classes, how many are enrolled in only one of the classes?

how can there be only 29 math students, if 34 are enrolled into both classes? Surely at least 34 were in math.
Plus, since you don't say how many total students there are, there's no way of knowing how many were in only the "other" class.

Well, it seems like the math class and the other class had a little overlap of students, like a crisscross of math lovers and class enthusiasts. So, if we have 29 students in the math class and 34 in both classes, we can do a little math-ception and subtract those who were enrolled in both from the total number of students in the math class. That would give us 29 - 34 = -5 students. But wait, negative students? That's impossible! So, it turns out there were no students enrolled in only one of the classes. They were all eager beavers in both classes! Must be some serious academic multitaskers!
To find the number of students who are enrolled in only one of the classes, we need to subtract the number of students enrolled in both classes from the total number of students enrolled in the math class.
Let's denote:
Total number of students enrolled in the math class = 29
Number of students enrolled in both classes = 34
To find the number of students enrolled in only one of the classes, we can use the following formula:
Number of students enrolled in only one class = Total number of students - Number of students enrolled in both classes
Number of students enrolled in only one class = 29 - 34
However, this would result in a negative value, which is not possible. It means there may be an error in the given information you provided. Please reconfirm the numbers to accurately calculate the number of students enrolled in only one of the classes.
