Answer:

E. 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

C_1 = color 1

C_2 = color 2

C_3 = color 3

Case I

C₂      C₃       C₂

C₃      C₁        C₃

C₁       C₂       C₁

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Case II

C₂      C₃       C₁

C₃      C₁        C₂

C₂       C₃       C₁

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Case III

C₁      C₃       C₂

C₂      C₁        C₃

C₃       C₂       C₁

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Case IV

C₂     C₃         C₁

C₃      C₁        C₂

C₁       C₂       C₃

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Case V

C₁      C₂         C₁

C₃      C₁        C₃

C₂      C₃       C₂

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Case VI

C₁      C₂         C₃

C₃      C₁        C₂

C₁       C₂       C₃

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Therefore, the total combinations = 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6

= 36

10+5-7=3y<br><br> -10x+5x+5=-15<br><br> 3x+2x-4x+10<br><br> pre algebra 8th grade math
jasenka [17]

Answer:

1) y=8/3=2 2/3   2) x=4    3) x+10

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 10+5-7=3y

Calculate the sum or difference.

8=3y

Swap the sides of the equation.

3y=8

Divide both sides by 3.

y=8/3=2 2/3

2) -10x+5x+5=-15

Collect like terms.

-5x+5=-15

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change the sign.

-5x=-15-5

Calculate the difference.

-5x=-20

Divide both sides by -5.

x=4

3) 3x+2x-4x+10

Collect like terms.

(3+2-4)x+10

Calculate the sum or difference.

1x+10

When the term has a coefficient of 1, it doesn't have to be written.

x+10

Hope this helps :)
