There are 3 different roads from city A to city B and 2 different roads from city B to city C. In how many ways can someone go from city A to city C passing by city B.

6

Step-by-step explanation: Since there are three different ways to get from A to B, that creates three variants of each way to get from B to C.

Say the roads are numbered. From A to B, you can use roads 1, 2, or 3. From B to C, you can use roads 4 or 5. The different combinations are 1-4, 1-5, 2-4, 2-5, 3-4, and 3-5.

i think it would be 42cm

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x
