Question

The sum of three numbers is -39.22. One of the numbers is 22.8. The other two numbers are equal to each other. What is the value of the other two numbers?

Answer 1

The value of the other two numbers is 31.01

Explanation:

Let the two numbers equal to each other be x

One of the numbers is 22.8

The sum of three numbers is -39.22.

So, x+x+22.8=-39.22

2x+22.8=-39.22

2x=-39.22-22.8

2x=-62.02

`x=(-62.02)/(2)`

x=-31.01

Hence the value of the other two numbers is 31.01
