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
the answer to your equation is
n=40
We know that y is equal to x-2. We can just substitute x-2 for y since y is equal to it.
10x- 9(x-2)=24
Distribute.
10x- 9x+18= 24
x+18= 24
Subtract 18 on both sides.
x= 6
Now, plug in x.
y= (6)-2
y= 4
We can check this to see if this works:
4= 6-2, 4=4
10(6)- 9(4)= 24
60-36= 24, 24=24
x=6 and y=4
I hope this helps!
