Let the number be x. The other number is also x.

Given the first number is 24.6 and sum is -44.85
24.6 + x + x = -44.85

Combine like terms:
2x + 24.6 = -44.85

Add 24.6 on both sides:
2x = -44.85 - 24.6

Evaluate Right Hand Side:
2x = -69.45

Divide both sides by 2:
x =- 34.725

Answer: The two numbers are both -34.725.

Maths-please help Factorise 3y+15

djyliett [7]

Answer:

3(y + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorization is a process which is like the opposite of expansion. It involves factoring out the common factors from the given terms.

Thus to factorize 3y + 15, we have to consider the common factor(s) of the two terms. The common factor is 3 because the two terms (i.e 3y and 15) are both divisible by 3 only.

So that:

3y + 15= 3( $\frac{3y}{3}$ + $\frac{15}{3}$ )

= 3(y + 5)

The outcome of the process is 3(y + 5).
