Step-by-step explanation:

knowns

97 students total

44 Spanish students

5 more students in Chinese than Spanish

then we know

44 + 5 = 49 kinds in Chinese class

49 + 44 = 93

97 - 93 = 4

4 students take both classes

Answer 2

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

97 = C + S - both

S - both = 44

97 = C + 44

C = 53

C = S + 5

S = 53 - 5

S = 48

44 = 48 - both

both = 4
