|\Omega|=C(14,2)=\dfrac{14!}{2!12!}=\dfrac{13\cdot14}{2}=91\\|A|=C(6,2)=\dfrac{6!}{2!4!}=\dfrac{5\cdot6}{2}=15\\\\P(A)=\dfrac{15}{91}\Rightarrow \text{B}

Answer: 15/91 which is choice B

=================================================================

There are two methods to find this answer.

Method 1) We have 6 girls and 8+6 = 14 students. The probability of picking a girl is 6/14 = 3/7. After the first girl is chosen, we have 5 girls left out of 14-1 = 13 students overall. The probability of picking another girl (assuming the first selection was a girl) is 5/13. Multiply these probabilities: (3/7)*(5/13) = (3*5)/(7*13) = 15/91

--------------------

Method 2) We can use the nCr combination formula. Order does not matter.

We have nCr = 6 C 2 = 15 ways to pick 2 girls. See the attached image below for the steps (figure 1)

Out of nCr = 14 C 2 = 91 ways to pick 2 students. See the attached image below for the steps (figure 2)

So that's another way to get the answer 15/91.

The x's will cancel leaving you with 40bcubed/64bsquared 
Then you can take 2 b's from the to leaving you with 40b/64 
Then you simply your fraction to 5b/8
So your answer is 5b/8

The simplified forms of the given expressions are

a. 32x

b. 0

c. -26t + 14x

d. 3t

<h3>Simplifying an expression </h3>

From the question, we are to simplify the given expressions by adding or subtracting

a. (10x) + (22x)

= 32x

b. (-6x) - (-6x)

= -6x + 6x

= 0

c. (-13t) + (14x) - (+13t)

= -13t + 14x - 13t

Collect like terms

= -13t -13t + 14x

= -26t + 14x

d. (-4t) + (+4t) - (-3t)

= -4t + 4t + 3t

= 3t

Hence, the simplified forms of the given expressions are

a. 32x

b. 0

c. -26t + 14x

d. 3t
