In an isosceles triangle, there are two sides that are congruent.

In this case, AB and BC are congruent.

Knowing this, we know that AB = BC

Since we know the values of AB and BC, we can put them into the equation:

3x - 4 = 5x - 10

Subtract 3x from both sides:

-4 = 2x - 10

Add 10 to both sides to isolate 'x':

6 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 3

Now that we know the value of the variable, we just have to input it into AB's equation:

3x - 4 = 3(3) - 4

3(3) - 4 = 9 - 4

9 - 4 = 5

AB = 5

Good luck!
