Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I'm assuming AB=4=4x-2 was a typo and it's supposed to be AB = 4x - 2

AB=BC

AB = 4x - 2 BC = 3x + 3

4x - 2 = 3x + 3

Solve for x Add 2 to each side

4x - 2 = 3x + 3

4x - 2 + 2 = 3x + 3 + 2

4x = 3x + 5 Subtract 3x from each side.

4x - 3x = 3x- 3x + 5

4x - 3x = 5

x = 5

Now plug back in to the original equations

AB = 4x - 2                  BC = 3x + 3

AB = 4 (5) - 2               BC = 3(5) + 3

AB = 20 - 2                  BC = 15 + 3

AB = 18                        BC = 18

So AB is 18

You are wearing a pair of cargo pants with six pockets. You've put $10 in one of the pockets, but you cannot remember which one.
Over [174]
There are 6 pockets all together.  You checked two of them and it wasn't
there.  So you can forget about those 2, and now there are 4 pockets left.

The total number of ways for your next try is 4.
The number that will be successful is 1.

The probability of success on the next one is  <em>1/4  =  25% .</em>

=======================================================

Another method of solution, somewhat more complex:

Total number of pockets = 6.
Amount of money missing = $10
First partial sum, i.e. sum of numbers
 in the first part of the problem = 6 + 10  =  16.

Total number of pockets  =  6
Current value of cargo pants on a fashion scale from 1 to 10  =  -2.
Second partial sum =  6 - 2  =  4.

  Probability = (second partial sum) / (first partial sum) = 4/16  =  <em>25% </em>.
