By doing base times area that is what I will do
Set as a proportion
16 = 12
------------------
5x+2 24
cross multiply
12(5x+2) = 16 * 24
60x +24 = 384
60x +24-24 = 384-24
60x =360
60x/60=360/60
x =6
To figure AB plug 6 into 5x+2
5x +2
5(6) + 2
30+2
32
AB = 32

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A)
"In the last 2.5 years, the water level has decreased 0.75 feet."
In the very first statement it has been stated that over the last 2.5 years, the water level in a lake has changed by -0.3 feet per year. That means in the last 2.5 years , total decrease in level is as follows
2.5 x - 0.3 = - .75 ft .
So the statement is true.
B)
"The overall change of the water level after 7.5 years will be -2.75 feet."
This statement appears to be false based on information provided
No prediction regarding rate of decrease for a period beyond 5 year has been made so any statement with respect to a timeline of 7.5 years may turn out to be false.
C)
"The change in water level each year for the next 5 years will be -0.4 feet.
"
This statement prima-facie appears to be true because rate of decrease stated in the statement is 0.4 ft /year for next 5 years .
D )
"The overall change in water level for the next 5 years is equal to 5(0.4)"
this statement is true
as change in one year = .4
change in 5 years = 5 x .4
