Set Y is equal to set N.
Set Y = set N
Not equal sets (≠)

V W

P T C T
O A

Set V is not equal to set W.

Set V ≠ set W

Lesson one
Magic squares
Each row, columns and diagonal add up to the same number which we call a magic number.
 6+1+8
b + 8 + 2 = 15 c + 1 + 5 = 15
6 a 2 b + 10 = 15. c + 6 = 15
b + 10 – 10 = 15 – 10 c + 6 – 6 = 15 - 6
