Of 104 athletes surveyed about what
sport they play, some play basketball.
Of those that play basketball, 32 play
soccer and the remaining 29 do not
play soccer. Write an equation to find
the number of athletes surveyed who
do not play basketball. Let n represent
the number of athletes surveyed who
do not play basketball.

Explanation:

n = 104 - (32 + 29)

32 and 29 (playing soccer or not) are the basketball players. that is 61 together.

so, the number of surveyed non-basketball players is then the rest of the 104 :

104 - 61 = 43
