[Discrete Math] How many ways are there to select six pieces of fruit from a bowl containing apples, oranges, and pears if the order in which the pieces are selected does not matter, only the type of fruit and not the individual piece matters, and there are at least five pieces of each type of fruit in the bowl? Use Mathematica to generate all of these possibilities.
