Set L contains 6 consecutive integers. Set M contains....

[Sarah2391]

Set L contains six consecutive integers. Set M contains all integers that result from adding six to each of the integers in set L and also contains all integers that result from subtracting six from each of the integers in set L. How many more integers are there in set M than in set L ?

Please show the set up and explanation of this problem

Re: Set L

Use the set \(\displaystyle L = \{ 7,8,9,10,11,12\}\) to find out.

And yet, every time you are given the (hard) set-up and left with a fully-explained (easy) finish, you reply with something along the lines of, "Oh, yeah; I could do all that. Now do the last bit. That's where I'm actually stuck." :shock:

Naturally, this leads to perfectly-understandable confusion and frustration, which I'm sure you'd like to avoid. So why don't you show us what you've got so far, and then we won't be wasting your time by providing you the stuff you'll say you had already completed, okay? :idea:

Thank you!

Re: Set L

Why don't you lose the nasty tone and try and actually help. Sorry i'm not a math major.

What do you mean by that remark?

Use the set \(\displaystyle L = \{ 7,8,9,10,11,12\}\) to find out.

Please tell us all how my answer possibly could have given offence to you.

I think the remark was directed toward stapel.

Yes, your response was very helpful thank you...and that comment was directed at stapel
I just didnt appreciate the tone ...i'd rather figure it out on my own rather than have someone make me feel bad
about not knowing exactly what to do..like i said i'm not a math major! haha

And that's all we've asked: that you participate in the learning process, so you can stand on your own!

I certainly hope that we can now look forward to seeing your efforts, without any more "messiness" when people ask you please to respond and participate. :wink:
