Of 30 applicants for a job, 14 had at least 4 years of experience, 18 had degrees, and 3 had less than 4 years of experience and did not have a degree. How many of the applicants had at least 4 years of experience and a degree?
A. 14
B. 13
C. 9
D. 7
E. 5
The OA is E.
I'm really confused with this PS question. Experts, any suggestion?
I know that 30 - 3 = 27 had at least 4 years of experience and/or a degree. How can I determine the exactly number of applicants that has at least 4 years of experience and a degree?
Thanks in advance.

We can use the equation:
Total = At least 4 years of experience + Degrees - Both + Neither
30 = 14 + 18 - B + 3
30 = 35 - B
B = 5
Answer: E
