Counting Pairs with Common Elements in a Set

[physics kiddy]

Here's the problem :

Let X = {1,2,3,4 ... 10}. Find the number of pairs {A,B} such that A $\subseteq$ X and B $\subseteq$ X, A $\neq$
B and A $\cap$ B = {5,7,8}.

My attempt:

Once we know that the remaining numbers are 1,2,3,4,6,9,10 ... a total of 7 numbers, we can use permutation to know that seven elements can be distributed to 2 sets in 2^7 ways ...

Excluding A and B having the common elements {5,7,8}, we have a total of 2^7-1 such numbers A and B.

However the answer is 3^7 - 1. I don't know how ...

There would be 2⁷ ways of placing each of the 7 remaining digits in either A or B. But they need not be in either.
