Sure.  We see all three right triangles are similar since each has corresponding congruent angles.  We can think of them as all having a common three way ratio:

short leg : long leg : hypotenuse

In the smallest triangle the short leg is a+5 and the long leg is 12.

In the medium triangle the short leg is 12 and the long leg is 18

So the relevant ratio is

(a+5) / 12 = 12 / 18

a+5 = 12 × 2/3

a = 8 - 5

a = 3

Answer: A. 3

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that point C is in the middle of point A and point B.

That means that when these two equations are added they should be equal to the length of AB which is 41.

5x+3x-7=41

add 7 to both sides

8x=48

divide both sides by 8.

x=6
