The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem where \( A - B = B - A \), we will analyze the implications of this equation step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Set Difference**: - The expression \( A - B \) represents the elements that are in set \( A \) but not in set \( B \). - Similarly, \( B - A \) represents the elements that are in set \( B \) but not in set \( A \). 2. **Setting Up the Equation**: - Given \( A - B = B - A \), it means that the elements that are unique to \( A \) are the same as the elements that are unique to \( B \). 3. **Analyzing the Implications**: - If \( A - B \) contains elements \( x \) (elements in \( A \) but not in \( B \)) and \( B - A \) contains elements \( y \) (elements in \( B \) but not in \( A \)), then we can conclude that: - The elements in \( A \) that are not in \( B \) are equal in count and type to the elements in \( B \) that are not in \( A \). 4. **Considering the Intersection**: - Let \( A \cap B \) be the intersection of sets \( A \) and \( B \). The elements in both sets are not counted in \( A - B \) or \( B - A \). - Therefore, if \( A - B = B - A \), it suggests that the unique elements in both sets must balance out, leading us to consider that the intersection must also be equal. 5. **Conclusion**: - The only way for \( A - B \) to equal \( B - A \) is if both sets \( A \) and \( B \) are equal. Thus, we conclude that: \[ A = B \] ### Final Result: The conclusion is that if \( A - B = B - A \), then: \[ A = B \]
