In the class 1 10 children, 7 take part in the competition and 6 take part in calligraphy. How many people take part in both competitions?

The whole class 10 children, 7 participated in the competition, 6 participated in calligraphy, and 3 both participated.

Calculate the formula according to the meaning of the question:

7+6- 10

=3 people

So there are three people in both competitions.

Subtraction calculation:

If you subtract a number from the sum of several numbers, you can choose any addend to subtract this number and add it to the rest of the addends. For example: (35+17+29)-25 = 35-25+17+29 = 56.

If you subtract several numbers from a number in succession, you can add all the subtractions first, and then subtract the sum of the subtractions from the minuend. For example: 276-115-85 = 276-(115+85) = 76.
