I don't get it. If you add, multiply, divide or subtract any of the two you don't get any of the answers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got it! It's 5.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup you were right and heres why it gave me this All of the possible color combinations are shown below. 1. two red balls 2. two green balls 3. one red ball and one green ball 4. one red ball and one blue ball 5. one green ball and one blue ball Therefore, there are 5 possible color combinations.

Cause: Just walk through it ball by ball. If Blue first, then second must be either red, or green,so 1)blue-red 2)blue-green If red first, then next ball must be blue, green, or red, red-blue is already covered 3)red-green 4) red-red If green first, then next ball must be blue, red, or green gree-blue and green-red are covered already 5)green-green so, 5 different color combinations are possible.
