Answer:

32 students take neither of the subjects

Explanation:

If we add the 20+18 we get 38. But 10 of the students are counted twice. So subtract 10 from 38 to get 28. This way each of the students that take both subjects are only counted once. Then, we take the total number of students, 60 and subtract the 28 students taking algebra classes to get 32 students.
