Answer:
6 and 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c²
Given this,
(3x)² + (4x)² = 10²
9x² + 16x² = 100
25x² = 100
Divide both sides by 25
x² = 4
x = 2
Substitute this into 3x and 4x.
3x = 3 * 2 = 6
4x = 4 * 2 = 8
Thus, the answer is 6 and 8
A collection of nickels and dimes is worth $4.40. There are 53 coins in all. How many nickels are there?
Nickel is a US coin worth 5 cents or 0.05.
Dime is a US coin worth 10 cents or 0.10
n + d = 53
0.05n + 0.10d = 4.40
n = 53 - d
0.05(53 - d) + 0.10d = 4.40
2.65 - 0.05d + 0.10d = 4.40
0.05d = 4.40 - 2.65
0.05d = 1.75
d = 1.75 / 0.05
d = 35
n = 53 - d
n = 53 - 35
n = 18
There are 18 nickels and 35 dimes.
0.05n + 0.10d = 4.40
0.05(18) + 0.10(35) = 4.40
0.90 + 3.5 = 4.40
4.40 = 4.40
