Answer:
5/8+1/2=9/8 or 1 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 x 4 (top and bottom)= 4/8
5/8 + 4/8 = 9/8
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12
difference is 2
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
