Since the number of students who were born in Oregon is the same as the number of students from Utah and New Mexico, add the amount of students from Utah and New Mexico to find the number of students who were born in Oregon.
18 students were born in Utah, and 12 students were born in New Mexico.
Since 18+12=30, then, 30 students were born in Utah and New Mexico combined.
Therefore, the amount of students who were born in Oregon, is:
