Answer:

2,075,673,600 batting orders may occur.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of the first eight batters in the batting order is important. For example, if we exchange Jonathan Schoop with Adam Jones in the lineup, that is a different lineup. So we use the permutations formula to solve this problem.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}

First 8 batters

8 players from a set of 16. So

P_{(16,8)} = \frac{16!}{(16 - 8)!} = 518918400

Last batter:

Any of the four pitchers.

How many different batting orders may​ occur?

4*518918400 = 2,075,673,600

2,075,673,600 batting orders may occur.

B) Make b the subject of the formula a = 4 - 3b​
Ira Lisetskai [31]
A=4-3b
subtract 4 from both sides
a-4=-3b
divide by -3 for both sides
(a-4)/-3 = b
