The sum of three numbers is -44.84. One of the numbers is 24.6. The other numbers are equal to each other. What is the value of each of the other two numbers?

Answer 1

-34.72

Explanation:

a + b + c = -44.84

a= 24.6

24.6 + b + c = -44.84

Since b = c (given "the other numbers are equal to each other")

Substitute b into c, we have

24.6 + b + b = -44.84 (b+b is the equivalence of 2 x b)

24.6 + 2b = -44.84 (subtract 24.6 from both sides)

2b = -69.44 (divide 2 from both sides)

b= -34.72

Since b = c (given "the other numbers are equal to each other")

c is also -34.72
