projects · Answer

I thought maybe B @Loser66

loser66 · Answer

why?

projects · Answer

Because 3 + 2 + 1 equals 6. Lol, I honestly do not know if it correct.

loser66 · Answer

$\{\emptyset \}$ is always a subset of any set

loser66 · Answer

the set is always a subset of itself. In this case, $\{1,2,3\}$ is a subset of itself
So far, we have 2 subsets, right?

loser66 · Answer

One element: $\{1\}$, $\{2\}$,$\{3\}$

loser66 · Answer

2 element subsets: $\{1,2\}$, we still have 2 more, can you list them out?

projects · Answer

No, sadly I can not.
