Add all them up. 5+8+2 = 15
How many yellows? 8/15 = 0.533 ~~ 53%
If B is the midpoint of AC, then AB = BC.
We have AB = x + 5 and BC = 2x - 11.
Therefore we have the equation:
x + 5 = 2x - 11 <em>subtract 5 from both sides</em>
x = 2x - 16 <em>subtract 2x from both sides</em>
-x = -16 <em>change the signs</em>
x = 16
Put the value of x to the expression x + 5:
AB = 16 + 5 = 21
<h3>Answer: AB = 21</h3>
Remember that an exponent means repeated multiplication.
The exponent of 4 means you have four 
's mutiplied together:
And then each exponent of 2 inside means you have two 
's multiplied inside each set of parentheses.:
There are 8 b's there when you expand this out.
