110 people are attending a newspaper conference. 45 of them are writers and more than 38 are editors. Of the people at the conference, x are both writers and editors and 2x are neither. What is the largest possible number of people who are both writers and editors?  Choose the correct choice from the following:
A) 34 B) 32 C) 30 D) 26 E) 28

Rationale: "{ total } = { writers } + { editors } - { both } + { neither } . { total } = 110 ; { writers } = 45 ; { editors } > 38 ; { both } = x ; { neither } = 2 x ; 110 = 45 + { editors } - x + 2 x - - > x = 65 - { editors } . we want to maximize x , thus we should minimize { editors } , minimum possible value of { editors } is 39 , thus x = { both } = 65 - 39 = 26 . answer : d ."
Answer: D
