What is the equation to determine how many combinations can be found when there are two sets with three letters and each can have one of two colors.

I have two sets (set A, set B) of three letters (X, Y, D). Each letter can have one of two colors (red or blue). How many different combinations are possible. I would like the equation to determine how many.

You could view the problem as follows: - SET A: [X, Y, D] - SET B: [X, Y, D] Each letter can be either red or blue. One possible combination is - SET A: [red X, red Y, blue D] - SET B: [red X, blue Y, red D]. I would like an equation to determine the total of all the different possible combinations.

Just for clarity, another possible combination is:

  • SET A: [red X, red Y, red D]
  • SET B: [red X, blue Y, blue D].
