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

Sierra is saving money to buy a bike the bike costs $245. she has $125 saved and each week she adds $15 to her savings. how many
beks73 [17]
You should start with an equation.
245 = 125 + 15x
The 'x' represents the week.

so now, we have to subtract 125 from the total amount which is 245.
245 - 125 = 120
now we have
120 = 15x
to find 'x', we must divide 15 on each side
\frac{120}{15}  =  \frac{15x}{15}
we are now left with
8 = x
that means Sierra will have 8 weeks until she has enough money to buy the bike
