The answer is AB = 6.
External value x (external value + internal value) =
External value x (external value + internal value) of the other side
Substitute, transpose, and simplify.
TA x (TA + AB) = TC x (TC + CD)
10 x (10 + (x + 2)) = 8 x (8 + 12)
120 + 10x = 160
10x = 40
x = 4
To find AB: x + 12; x = 4
AB = x + 2
AB = 4 + 2
AB = 6
