Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the number of students who play both baseball and basketball, we can use the formula:

Total = Baseball + Basketball - Both + Neither

30 = 18 + 17 - Both + 0

30 = 35 - Both

Both = 35 - 30

Both = 5

Therefore, there are 5 students who play both baseball and basketball.
