Based on the number of students at Roxas Middle School and the number of students studying Chinese and Spanish, the number of students who study Spanish is 182 students.

What number of students study Spanish?

The first thing to do is to find out the number of students who are studying either Spanish or Chinese:

= Total number of students - Students studying both Spanish and Chinese

= 374 - 100

= 274 students

Then, assuming the number of students studying Chinese alone is x, the expression to find them would be:

274 = 2x + x

Solving gives:

2x + x = 274

3x = 274

x = 274 / 3

x = 91 students

The number studying Spanish is twice this number so will be:

= 91 x 2

= 182 students

In conclusion, there are 182 student studying Spanish.
