If you choose those $3$ students, then you still have to choose $7$ out of $22$ students. You can do this in $\binom{22}{7}$ ways. If you do not choose those $3$ students, then you still have to choose $10$ out of $22$ students. You can do this in $\binom{22}{10}$ ways. So, the total number of ways is $$\binom{22}{7}+\binom{22}{10}$$
