Question

In a certain Algebra 2 class of 26 students, 18 of them play basketball and 7 of them
play baseball. There are 5 students who play neither sport. What is the probability
that a student chosen randomly from the class plays both basketball and baseball?

Answer 1

a=18−x

b=7−x

x+5+b+a=26

18−x+7−x+x+5=26

x=4

p

theprobabillty=4÷26
