Since the problem is not concerned about the order of choosing the captain, the concept used is the combination. From 8 players, 2 are to be chosen,

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: B is the correct answer.

                   B.  28

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

It is given that the total number of players in a basketball team are: 8

Now in order to select two players out of the total 8 players we need to use the method of combination since the objective is just to chose them and not to arrange.

Hence, the number of ways of doing so is calculated as:

                    8_C_2

which is solved as:

8_C_2=\dfrac{8!}{2!\times (8-2)!}\\\\\\8_C_2=\dfrac{8!}{2!\times 6!}\\\\\\8_C_2=\dfrac{8\times 7\times 6!}{2\times 6!}\\\\\\8_C_2=\dfrac{8\times 7}{2}\\\\\\8_C_2=28

Hence, the number of ways of doing so is:

                             28

What is the value of x in the solution to this system of equations? 3x = 2y + 14<br> y = -6x + 18​
zmey [24]
Use substitution
3x = 2(-6x + 18) + 14
3x = -12x + 36 + 14
3x = -12x + 50
15x = 50, x = 50/15 = 10/3
Solution: x = 10/3

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Often, the simplest way to solve "ax2 + bx + c = 0" for the value of x is to factor the quadratic, set each factor equal to zero, and then solve each factor. But sometimes the quadratic is too messy, or it doesn't factor at all, or you just don't feel like factoring. While factoring may not always be successful, the Quadratic Formula can always find the solution.

The Quadratic Formula uses the "a", "b", and "c" from "ax2 + bx + c", where "a", "b", and "c" are just numbers; they are the "numerical coefficients" of the quadratic equation they've given you to solve.
