Here's the Solution to this Question

Solution.

Let be x is the number taking all three subjects.

Then 22-x, 17-x, 24-x learn only two languages.

So, 6+x learn only spanish, 10+x learn only french, 20+x learn only chinese.

We will have equation

9+10+x+6+x+20+x+22-x+17-x+24-x+x=155.

From here x=47.

But 47 students can not learn three languages because 47>17. This question have not answers. May be the task have an error in condition? If the number of all students will be >108 and <125, the task will be have answer.
