Answer:

15 students study math and not English

Explanation:

lets take the # or people who study math but not English as "x"

so 90 students study math or English

25 students study English and not math

and

50 study both

since 90 students study math or English that is what our equation will equal.

so

25+x+50=90

25+50=75

75+x=90

subtract "75" from both sides:

x=15

Hope this helps!
