Problem
Sets 
and 
, shown in the Venn diagram, have the same number of elements.
Their union has 
elements and their intersection has 
elements. Find
the number of elements in .
![[asy] defaultpen(linewidth(0.7)); draw(Circle(origin, 5)); draw(Circle((5,0), 5)); label("$A$", (0,5), N); label("$B$", (5,5), N); label("$1001$", (2.5, -0.5), N);[/asy]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/b/f/d/bfdb09b66054973cff11a173317d646fe1d66de1.png)
Solution
Let 
be the number of elements in and which is equal.
Then we could form equation
.
The answer is 
Solution 2
Let be the number of elements in not including the intersection. 
total elements excluding the intersection. Since we know that 
, we can find that 
. Now we need to add the intersection. 
.
