AB + AB = AC
Since we have not been given any values for
the variables, there is no way to prove this.
We can factor out the common variable A
A(B+B) = AC
B+B = C
2B = C or B = C/2

Alternatively you could have combined the like terms:
AB + AB = AC
2AB = AC
2B = C
B = C/2
The only thing we can say for sure is this statement
is true if and only if B=C/2
Without further information this is all you can determine
