Solve ax + bx = c for x
a,b,c represent nonzero constants

x =

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

ax + bx = c ← factor out x from each term on the left side

x(a + b) = c ← divide both sides by (a + b)

x =

The probability is 25% or tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

You are wearing a pair of cargo pants with six pockets.

After checking two pockets without success, pockets left are =

So, the total number of ways for your next try is 4 and the number that will be successful is 1.

Therefore, the probability that the money will be in the next pocket, will be given by = or 25%.
