Key word here is "and"

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

How many are in both A and B at the same time?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

So 8 elements belong to both sets A and B

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

If this problem used "or" instead, your initial answer would have been correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what if it said set a, set b, or both?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then it would have been 43

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i would add all three inside the diagram is it was set a,set b, or both

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
