Make a rectangle and draw two overlapping circles.
in the intersection put the 8
subtract 8 from the 20 and put 12 in one of the pieces of the circle.
Then subtract 8 from 13 and place 5 in the other open part of the circle
Put the 9 in the rectangle, but not in the circle.
add 9, 8, 12, 5 to get the number of students.

Always remember when there is an overlap, you have to subtract that overlap from the other numbers.
