Let the three items be M, Y and P.
n{M ∩ Y} only = 4-3 = 1
n{M ∩ P) only = 5-3 = 2
n{ Y ∩ P} only = 2
n{M} only = 12-(1+3+2) = 6
n{Y} only = 10-(1+2+3) = 4
n{P} only = 14-(2+3+2) = 7
n{M∩P∩Y} = 3
Number of women in the group = 6+4+7+(1+2+2+3) as above =25 women.

Answer:
Here's the simplest example possible: let's say x + y = 3 and x - y = 1. Solve the second equation for x by adding y to both sides: (x - y) + y = 1 + y. So x = 1 + y. Take that value of x, and substitute it into the first equation given above (x + y = 3).
