    a) 26 students

    b) 17 students

    c) 74 students

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We can make a Venn diagram and make sense a lot of things

    a) The number of students who takes French but not German = the number of students who takes French - the number of students who takes French and German = 65 - 20 = 45 students

    The number of students who takes French Only = The number of students who takes French but not German - the number of students who take French and Spanish + the number of students who take all 3 languages = 45 - 22 + 3 = 26 students.

    b) The number of students who take French AND German but not Spanish = the number of students who takes French and German - the number of students who take all 3 languages = 20 - 3 = 17 students

    c) The number of students who take French OR German but not Spanish = the number of students who take French Only + the number of students who take German - the number of students who take German and Spanish = 26 + 60 - 12 = 74 students.
