A, B, C lie on the same line in that order. The coordinates of A and B are 4 and
9, respectively. What is the coordinate of B if AB = 2BC?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Coordinate of B is given: it is 9.
THEREFORE, there is nothing to solve.
To get the correct answer, you ONLY NEED to read attentively and FILTER OUT all unnecessary information.
As posed, it is typical "trap-problem".
