    Sets System
Click For Summary
To solve the equation AUX = B in P(E), the solution is X = (B\A) U Y, where Y is an element of P(A). For the system with the additional condition A∩X = C, the correct interpretation is that Y should equal C, not X. The discussion emphasizes verifying that this solution aligns with the general form provided earlier. The participants confirm the logic and express gratitude for the clarification.

Let A,B and C be three elements of P(E)
1. Solve in P(E) the following equation : AUX=B
2. Let's suppose that C ⊂ A ⊂ B , solve in P(E) the following system : AUX=B and A⋂X=C


I've already answered the first question , it's X = (B\A) U Y such that Y∈P(A)
As for the second , I thought maybe X=C but I don't think it's right ?

It's not $X = C$, but $Y = C$ (following your general solution $X = (B\setminus A) \cup Y$). Check to see that this works.

Okay,thanks a lot !
 
Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
