45 This problem best solved with the help of Venn diagrams and theory of sets (I solve it with the help of Venn diagrams which i can not draw here) .
students like only maths 3 (1) students like only English 18 (2) students like both English and Maths 7 (3) and students dont like either subjects 17(4) now total students =sum of (1)+(2)+(3)+(4) = 3+18+7+17 = 45
therefore total students = 45 or X = 45
