The number of athletes who do not play basketball is 26.
Given:
Athletes surveyed = 107 athletes
Athletes who play baseball = 48 athletes
Athletes who don't play baseball = 33 athletes
Equations are mathematical statements containing two algebraic expressions on both sides of an 'equal to (=)' sign. It shows the relationship of equality between the expression written on the left side with the expression written on the right side. In every equation in math, we have, L.H.S = R.H.S (left hand side = right hand side). Equations can be solved to find the value of an unknown variable representing an unknown quantity. If there is no 'equal to' symbol in the statement, it means it is not an equation.
Athletes who play basketball = athletes who play baseball + athletes who don't play baseball
Athletes who play basketball = 48 + 33
Athletes who play basketball = 81
Total athletes = Athletes who play basketball + Athletes who don't play basketball
⇒107 = 81 + x
⇒x = 107 - 81
⇒x = 26
Therefore, the number of athletes who do not play basketball is 26.
