(1) From the information given, if we want to choose 5 colors from 8 distinct colors and the order in which the selection is made is relevant, then what we have is a permutation.
The formula is given as;

This formula means we need to select/arrange r items out of a total of n items and the anwer derived would be the total number of arrangements possible.
Therefore, we would have;

Therefore, if the order is relevant, this selection can be done in 6,720 ways.
(2) If the order is NOT relevant, then what we need to calculate is a combination and the formula is;

The formula can now be applied as follows;

If the order is not relevant, then the selection can be done in 56 ways.
Y intercept = when x = 0
Plug in x = 0
0 + 3y = 6
3y = 6, y = 2
Solution: a, (0,2)

just a plain vanilla substitution
Answer: 56
Step-by-step explanation:
4=(a+b-24)/2
32=a+b
32+24=56
