<span>There are 53 dimes in Jonahs piggy bank. You must use algebra to solve for a variable X as follows:
x.10+(91-X).05=7.2
Solving through will yield X =53 which means 91 - 53 = 38.
53*.10 + 38*.05 = $7.20.
Other methods will also work, but this is the most straight forward.</span>
Answer:
a=8 b=6
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the Pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2, and in this case, a^2+b^2=10^2 = 100
so a^2+b^2=100
8^2+6^2=100
64+36=100 ✔
and since A is longer than B, a=8, b=6
