Answer

$n(U)[n(A\cup B)-n(A\cap B)]=12*(7-2)=60$

Work Step by Step

$n(A\cup B)$ is the number of distinct elements which are in $A$, in $B$, or in both $A$ and $B$. We can see that $n(A\cup B)=7$ $n(A\cap B)$ is the number of elements of $A$ that are also elements of $B$. We can see that $n(A\cap B)=2$ $n(U)$ is the number of all elements in the diagram. We can see that $n(U)=12$ Therefore: $n(U)[n(A\cup B)-n(A\cap B)]=12*(7-2)=60$
