Step-by-step explanation:

13:8

A=13x. B=8x

13x + 8x = 44

21x=44

x=2.095

13:18 is in simplest form, so it’s multiplied by something, let’s call it x

So A + B equals 13x + 8x

13x + 8x = 44
21x = 44
x =44/21

Plug in to check:
13(44/21) + 8(44/21) = 44
572/21 + 352/21 = 44
924/21 = 44
44 = 44 :)
