Since this is a proportion we cross multiply.
b+2/b-1=4/5 
b-1(4)=b+2(5)
  4b-4=5b+10
    +4 = +4
     4b=5b+14
    -5b=-5b
    -1b=14
divide by -1 on both sides
b=-14

Answer:

C. 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Make the fraction denominators the same!

1/2 will become 4/8 over here, and 2/8 is already good!

Step 2

Subtract the new fractions!

4/8 - 2/8 is easy! It's 2/8

Step 3

Simplify the answer (2/8)

2/8 will become 1/4 when simplified

<h2>Hence, the final answer is 1/4</h2>

or C
