----
Draw the Venn Diagram of 3 intersecting circles.
Label the circles latin, span, and french.
----
The universe has 89 elements.
3 elements are not in any of the circles, leaving 86 in the circles.
----
latin has 25 elements
span has 32 elements
french has 37
The intersection of the 3 circles has 0 elements
----
(25+32+37)-86 = 94-86 = 8 students take more than one language.
