17 because -17 is 17 units away from 0.
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.
You put the 0 if it is close to 0, the 1/2 if it is closer to half, 1 if it is equal or closer to one, and the >1 if it is over one
9.08 divided by 9 is 1.008888889
