Maximizing PC Set Options: Venn Diagram Equation in a Computer Shop

In summary, a, b, c, $$S_1$$, $$S_2$$, and $$S_3$$ represent different sets of PC that are sold in a computer shop, with each set having certain combinations of features such as crystal screen, printer, and scanner. The equation and conclusions provided help find the value of $$x$$, which represents the maximum number of PC sets that can be sold without any overlap in features.

Homework Statement
In a computer shop, there are $33$ PC set that are sold:


1. with 18 sets of PC have crystal screen PC included,

2. with 12 sets of PC have printer included,

3. with 6 sets of PC have scanner system included,

4. with 3 sets of PC that include all(printer, scanner system,

crystal screen pc)
Relevant Equations
x=33-(18-(a+b+3)+12-(a+c+3)+6-(b+c+3) + ( a+b+c +3 ) )

We want to find $$x$$ which is $$33-|S_1 \cup S_2 \cup S_3|=x$$ and get $$x$$ that is max

From the graph :
It means that inside $$18$$ crystal screen PC, there is a set that also includes a scanner or printer and, there is a set that contains only crystal screen.

1. ##S_1\implies 18=a+b+3+## crystal screen only
2. ##S_2\implies 12 = a+c+3+## printer only
3. ##S_3\implies 6=b+c +3+## scanner only

$$x=33-(18-(a+b+3)+12-(a+c+3)+6-(b+c+3) + ( a+b+c +3 ) )=x\\
33-(27-a-b-a-c-b-c + (a+b+c+3))=\\
33-(30 -a-b-c)=\\
3+a+b+c =x\\
a+b+c=x-3$$

More conclusions:

- $$a+c \le 9$$
- $$b+c \le 3$$
- $$a+b \le 15$$

What is the relation with $$x$$ and how do I get the actual result?

In words, what do a, b, c, S1, S2, and S3 represent?

a,b,c you can see the diagram i drew,
a means PC set include crystal screen and printer
b means PC set include crystal screen and scanner
c mean PC set include scanner and printer 1. $$S_1$$ means 18=a+b+3+crystal screen only
2. $$S_2$$ means 12 = a+c+3+ printer only
3. $$S_3$$ means 6=b+c +3+ scanner only
