Answer:
b =21
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
20^2 + b^2 = 29^1
400 + b^2 =841
Subtract 400 from each side
b^2 = 441
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(441)
b =21
Lets say that the first number is x and the second number is y.
from the question we know that:
y=-3x and x+y=-4
from there, you need to replace the y in the second equation with -3x since we know that is what y equals so we can have an equation with only one variable.
x+-3x+-4
Then you solve for x.
-2x=-4
x=2
then you find y with the fact that y=-3x
y=-6
100 x 37= 3700
