so, did you make your diagram?
By the way, in classes students do not offer the subjects.

surely you can see that 60 is not an answer. There are only 40 students in all!
Since 8 students take neither, there are only 32 students to worry about.
If you count all the science and math, you get 50. But in doing that, you have counted twice the students who take both. That means that if there are x students who take both,
30+20-x = 32
x = 18
So, 18 students were counted twice because they take both subjects.
That means that 32-18 = 14 students take exactly one subject.
60! huh...
