Simply recognize that logically, the participation of either sport is non-exclusive, that is, just because people took track and field does not necessarily mean they did not take swimming as well. As such, those 51 who took swimming could have all potentially done track and field, which means all 51 students.

There are 120 students in the math club and 150 students in the chess club, for a total membership of 270. However, 100 students are in both clubs, which means they are counted twice. You simply subtract 100 from 270, which will give you a total of 170 different students participating in both clubs. This means that the remaining 130 students do not participate in either club.
