Please help with the Venn diagram and the solvings. I've tried but keep getting it all wrong.

100=30+50+70−44−3x+x⇒x=3  ∣EnA∣+∣AnL∣+∣LnE∣=44+3x
$$\mathrm{100}=\mathrm{30}+\mathrm{50}+\mathrm{70}−\mathrm{44}−\mathrm{3}{x}+{x}\Rightarrow{x}=\mathrm{3} \\ $$$$\mid{EnA}\mid+\mid{AnL}\mid+\mid{LnE}\mid=\mathrm{44}+\mathrm{3}{x} \\ $$
