Answer: a) 48

b) 43

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of students Professor Date has in his Calculus class = 31

The number of students Professor Date has in his Discrete Mathematics class = 17

(a) If we assume that there are no students who take both classes, then the total number of students Professor Date Has = 31+17=48

(b) If we assume that there are five students who take both classes, then the total number of students Professor Date Has = 31+17-5=43
