Answer:

If order matters: 2,594,592,000 ways.

If order does not matter:  64,350 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the order matters when picking the non-pitching positions (since they are different positions), the number of possible different starting lineups is given by the permutation of picking 8 players out of 15, multiplied by 10 (pick one out of 10 pitchers):

n =10*\frac{15!}{(15-8)!}\\ n=10*15*14*13*12*11*10*9*8\\n=2,594,592,000

Now if the order of the field players is not important, the number of possible starting lineups is given by the combination of picking 8 players out 15, multiplied by 10:

n = n =10*\frac{15!}{(15-8)!8!}\\ n=\frac{10*15*14*13*12*11*10*9*8}{8*7*6*5*4*3*2} \\n=64,350

Therefore, the number of ways to pick the starting lineup is:

If order matters: 2,594,592,000 ways.

If order does not matter:  64,350 ways

Find sum of three consecutive even integers if the largest integer is Y
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

3y -- 6

Step-by-step explanation:

if the largest number is y, then the other two integers would be (y -- 2) and (y -- 4).

Therefore the sum of the integers would be

y + (y -- 2) + (y -- 4) = 3y -- 6.

Solve the system by substitution.<br> y = 8x<br> y=10x – 4<br> Submit Answer<br> How
Goshia [24]

Answer:

(2,16)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=8x-----------(i)

y= 10x-4---------(ii)

Substituting the value of y=8x in equation (ii)

8x=10x-4

8x-10x=-4

-2x= -4

x=2

Now, substituting the value of x= 2 in equation (i)

y=8x=8(2)=16

Solution of the system is (2,16)
