Question
**Problem 23:**

If a planar drawing of a graph has 15 edges and 8 vertices, how many faces does the graph have?

To solve this, we can use Euler's formula for planar graphs: 

\[ V - E + F = 2 \]

Where:
- \( V \) is the number of vertices
- \( E \) is the number of edges
- \( F \) is the number of faces

Given:
- \( V = 8 \)
- \( E = 15 \)

Substituting these values into the formula:

\[ 8 - 15 + F = 2 \]

\[ F = 2 + 15 - 8 \]

\[ F = 9 \]

Therefore, the graph has 9 faces.
