Expert Solution
Step 1

You have posted multiple parts. We have answered only one subpart. IF you need an answer to others then kindly re-post by specifying it.

A company that specializes in language tutoring lists the following information concerning its English-speaking employees: 21 employees speak German; 25 speak French; 33 speak Spanish; 43 speak Spanish or French; 34 speak French or German; 46 speak German or Spanish; 8 speak Spanish, French, and German; and 7 speak English only.

Let us denote G for German, F for French, and S for Spanish.

So, 

          21 employees speak German: n(G)=21,

          25 speak French: n(F)=25,

          33 speak Spanish: n(S)=33,

          43 speak Spanish or French: n(SF)=43,

          34 speak French or German: n(FG)=34,

          46 speak German or Spanish: n(GS)=46,

          8 speak Spanish, French, and German: n(SFG)=8, and 

          7 speak English only: n(S'F'G')=8.
