Let the total number of students be indicated as T
From the question stem, Among the students who speak French, four times as many speak German as don't. Thus, if the number of students who speak only French are indicated as "x", then the number of students who speak both French and German are indicated as "4x"
Let the number of students who do not speak French but speak German = "y" and let the number of students who don't speak both =z
It is also given that
