I tried using Venn diagrams.
enter x in the intersection of all three
10 play tennis and football, so enter 10-x in the intersection of tennis and football outside the intersection of all three
19 play football and volleyball, so enter 19-x in the intersection of football and volleyball outside the intersection of all three
29 play tennis and volleyball, so .....
Then you say that x people each play only one game, so I placed x in the part dealing only with that one sport
Now add them all up:
x + (10-x) + (29-x) + (19-x) + x+x+x = 90
x + 58 = 90
x = 32
which makes no sense,
e.g. 10-x would be negative
Something not right here, or else I am not interpreting it correctly.
