Let x = number of students enrolled in all three classes. Since students are enrolled in at least two classes, there are four categories of students summarized below.
x= Students in all three classes
170 -x = students in math and English but not history
150 - x = students in English and history but not math
300 - x = students in history and math but not English
The sum of these students must equal 500.
x + 170-x + 150-x + 300-x = 500
620-2x = 500
-2x = -120
x=60
