There are 17 members who are only in gymnastics, 7 who are only in chess, and 3 who are in both.
17+3+7=27
800-27=773

The number of students in the school who are not members of either the gymnastic team or the chess team is 773 option (C) 773 is correct.

What is a linear equation?

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

It is given that:

The school has 800 students with 20 students on the gymnastic team and 10 students on the chess team.

Let x be the number of students in the school who are not members of either the gymnastic team or the chess team:

(20 - 3) + (10 - 3) + 3 + x = 800

17 + 7 + 3 + x = 800

x = 800 - 27

x = 773

Thus, the number of students in the school who are not members of either the gymnastic team or the chess team is 773 option (C) 773 is correct.
