What is a word problem?

A word problem is a verbal description of a problem situation. It consists of few sentences describing a 'real-life' scenario where a problem needs to be solved by way of a mathematical calculation.

For the given situation,

Total number of students = 102

Students taking German = 42

Students taking Chinese = 37

Students taking both German and Chinese = 7

Students taking only German = [tex]42 - 7[/tex]

⇒ [tex]35[/tex]

Students taking only Chinese = [tex]37 -7[/tex]

⇒ [tex]30[/tex]

Thus students taking only German or Chinese or both = [tex]35+30+7[/tex]

⇒ [tex]72[/tex]

Thus students are not enrolled in either language course = [tex]102-72[/tex]

⇒ [tex]30[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that the students are not enrolled in either language course are 30 students.
