If we have two sets A = { x belongs to Z, with property 3/(x-2) belongs to ZB = {x belongs to Z , with property ( x-2)/3 belongs to Z . Find A,...

x is an element of A  where x belongs to z


That means that x should be an integer (1,2,3...)


We have 3/(x-2) is an integer , then (x-3) should be divided by 3.


Then (x-2) should be either 3,-3, 1, or -1


x-2=3 ==> x=5


x-3=-3 ==> x=0


x-2=1 ==> x=3


x-2=-1==> x=1


Then A elements are 0,1,3, 5


A= {0,1,3,5}


Now for B. B elements should verify (x-2)/3


Since x belongs top z, then x-2)/3 should be an integer, that means (x-2) is a multiplex of 3


(x-2)= 3n where  n=...-3,-2,-2,1,0,1,2,3....


x-2= 3(-2) ==> X=-4


X-2=3(-1) ==> X=-1


x-2= 3(0) ==> x=2


x-2=3(1) ==> x= 5


x-2=3(2) ==> x=8


x-2=3(3) ==> x= 11


==> B = {...-4,-1,2,5,8,11,...}


Then A-B elements are all elements in A without elements in B:


A-B = A - (A intersect B)


A-B    =  {0,1,3,5}-{5} = {0,1,3}

Iago hates Othello for some of reasons. First reason could be that Othello promoted Cassio in his place; however, Iago wants it and he cosid...
