Laugh out loud a pun isn't it
The numbers of choices in each category are multiplied together. We assume the order of paint choices matters: using color 1 in area A and color 2 in area B is not the same as using color 2 in area A and color 1 in area B.
P(7,2)*4*3*2 = 42*4*3*2 = 1008 ways
_____
P(n, k) = n!/(n-k)!
P(7, 2) = 7*6 = 42
Find the least common denominator for each of these fractions then complete the equation until it equals 1.
Common factor is 30
u/5 = 6u/30
u/10 = 3u/30
-u/6 = -5u/30
6u/30 + 3u/30 - 5u/30 = 1
4u/30 = 1
4u = 30
u = 7.5
Subtract 15 from both sides of the equation
Simplify
Divide both sides of the equation by the same term
Simplify
ANSWER: x= 52/9
