This is a puzzler for my math class and I am aproaching if from the veiw that there are more different commitees of eight rather than 2. Because one can be in more committtes if there is eght people. Am I even on th eright track?

Do the math!
This is a combination problem because arrangement is not important.
10C2=45
10C8=45
You can form the same number of committees.
