Solution

To solve this problem, we need to understand that a subset is a set that contains only elements from the given set. In this case, we are looking for subsets of A that contain the element 2 but not 3.

Step 1: Identify the elements that can be in the subset. In this case, the elements are 1, 2, and 4. We exclude 3 because the problem specifies that the subset should not contain 3.

Step 2: Calculate the number of subsets. The number of subsets of a set with n elements is 2^n. In this case, n is 3 (the elements 1, 2, and 4), so the number of subsets is 2^3 = 8.

However, this includes the empty set, which does not contain the element 2. So we need to subtract 1 from the total.

Step 3: Subtract 1 from the total. 8 - 1 = 7.

So, the number of subsets of A that contain the element 2 but not 3 is 7.
