Answer: We can use the following formula for the union of two sets:
n(A U B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A ∩ B)
where n(A ∩ B) is the number of elements in the intersection of A and B.
Substituting the given values, we get:
n(A U B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A ∩ B)
n(A U B) = 25 + 18 - 7
n(A U B) = 36
Therefore, the value of n(A U B) is 36.
