<p>haha i put antecedent, but i looked up derivation and it means "something that comes before" so it might be that one
the first word to antecedent was complement which didn't make sense</p>

<p>but i hope ur right :)</p>

<p>I put antecedent</p>

<p>complement = to bring to completion. What doesn't fit in that?!</p>

<p>i put derivation</p>

<p>Answer to the Latin/German Math question is 9. I am positive.</p>

<p>Total Germain: 21
Total Latin: 18
Overlap/Both: 9</p>

<p>Since overlap=German=Latin the answer is 9.</p>

<p>i think i put derivation too...but not quite sure on what the question is...anyone remember it?</p>

<p>No, it's 6. Half of the 30 students studied both -> that's 15. That leaves 15 more for those studying EITHER German or Italian.</p>

<p>im pretty sure it was 6 (and it was Italian...not Latin). it said there were 30 students in the class and the amount of people taking one language is equal to the number taking both. so 15 students were taking Italian and German, and 15 students were taking either only Italian or only German. now it also said there were 3 more people taking German than Italian, the amount of people taking only Italian is 6 and the amount of people taking only German is 9.</p>

<p>@Quick, my thoughts exactly.
I don't see how people got 15... or 6.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure it didn't say half of the 30 students studied both.
I made a Venn diagram and I read the question like 3 times.</p>

<p>it is 6
definitely
positive!</p>

<p>@Feed, that's exactly what I did. :)</p>

<p>its 6. it said the people studying both (15) equals the people studying ONLY german or ONLY italian (15 :9 german, 6 italian).</p>

<p>did it say DERIVATIVE
or DERIVATION?
derivation = the source of something
derivative = something that comes from something else
if it said derivation it is right
if it said derivative then it would be (a) antecedent</p>

<p>It said TOTAL GERMAN is 3 MORE than TOTAL LATIN.
German+Latin is EQUAL to ONE Language.</p>

<p>^ Yes, That was the exact wording.
So TOTAL Italian = both and just Italian...</p>

<p>Lol, I'm glad Quick. :)</p>

<p>actually i think it said derivative</p>

<p>what...........^</p>

<p>^ I'm POSITIVE it said derivative.</p>

<p>3 more or 3 times more?</p>

<p>@sastux, it's not 6 because 15+9 is not 3 more than 9+6</p>
