You need to post your try at an answer, and how you got it. You won't learn much if you are spoon-fed.

Two further hints.

1) If you tie the inputs of a 2-input NAND gate together you will get a NOT gate, therefore you have a means for getting the compliment of a variable.

2) You can double NOT a function without changing it; i.e. A = NOT(NOT(A))

Finally RonH is right, the big hint is DeMoran's Theorems.

Here is an example of where I have shown someone before how to do this.

So how do you "connect" the 3 NAND gates?

Can you scan in your working out? I would be happy to give you some feedback/pointers as to where you may, or may not, be going wrong.
