    This document discusses using Venn diagrams to solve word problems. It provides an example of a word problem about the number of students in a fraternity taking mathematics and biology courses. The document walks through setting up and solving the Venn diagram, showing that 5 students take both subjects, 18 take just mathematics, 8 take neither, and 4 take just biology, solving the original question. It concludes by prompting the reader to try another problem on their own.
