Hello everybody.
I'm foreigner and I'm studying mathematics.
I would like to find online resources to help me understand/solve my problem, however due to fact that I'm studying math in my own language, rather than English. I have a bit of a trouble.
Here is the problem I'm trying to solve
Set problem: A = {-5, -2, 0, 1, 2}, B = {2-, 1, 5, 7}, C = {-2, 0, 1, 8, 9}. Question: Find A\(B U C).

Thank you

Here is the problem I'm trying to solve
Set definitions A = {-5, -2, 0, 1, 2}, B = {2-, 1, 5, 7}, C = {-2, 0, 1, 8, 9}, followed by the question: Find A\(B U C).

Thank you

You do not have an 'equation' (which would need an '=' sign somewhere in it); you just have a problem in set theory. Your problem is easily solved just by figuring out what is ##B \cup C## and what is meant by "\". Those are notations from set theory, and can be found in many books or in many on-line sources. Google is your friend.
 
Goethe,

Ray Vickson is right. What you have supplied us with is not an equation.
