This is one of 25 questions that I must explain how to do, and I have no idea! Please help; it is greatly appreciated! Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The number of combinations of a set of n objects taken r at a time is given by nCr = (n!)/(r!(n - r)!).
.
9 CHOOSE 7
9C7 = 9!/7!2! = (9*8/2) = 36 ways
