How many ways can the number 10 be written as the sum of exactly three positives and not
necessarily different integers if the order in which the sum is written does not matter? For instance,
10 = 1 + 4 + 5 is one such sum. This sum is the same as 10 = 4 + 1 + 5.

What is  positive integers ?

Positive integers are all whole numbers, both positive and negative, that are larger than zero and do not include fractions or decimals

According to the question

The ways can the number 10 be written as the sum of exactly three positives and  not necessarily different integers order doesn't matter

Now ,

10 as sum of 3 positive integers

10 = 1 + 1 + 8

10 = 1 + 2 + 7

10 = 1 + 3 + 6

10 = 1 + 4 + 5

10 = 2 + 2 + 6

10 = 2 + 3 + 5

10 = 2 + 4 + 4

10 = 3 + 3 + 4  

Hence, In 8 ways the number 10 can be written as the sum of exactly three positives  and not necessarily different integers if the order in which the sum is written does not matter .
