VENN DIAGRAM HELP? Can't find the answer anywhere any help

So i am stuck, I've looked everywhere and wasted 2 hours on this one problem. I have a two circle Venn diagram showing

At a diplomatic party at which two countries, A and B have an interest, each guest may be a spy for either or both of these countries. The probability that any given guest is a spy for A is 0.6; the probability that she is a spy for B is 0.5; the probability that she is NOT a spy at all is 0.1. What is the probability that she is a double agent?

My Venn diagram shows the outside no circle as 0.1 (not a spy), the intersection is 0.3 (0.6*0.5) can anybody help me figure out what the rest of circle A is? And the rest of circle B, and is my intersection right? I can't come up with reasonable figures which add to 1 (including not being a spy at all). Thanks!

Probably of being a:
spy = 0.9
double agent = x
spy for A only = 0.6 - x
spy for B only = 0.5 - x

x + (0.6 - x) + (0.5 - x) = 0.9
x = 0.2
