Answer:

Factor out the greatest common factor

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step when factoring any polynomial is to factor out the GCF. The GCF is the greatest common factor for all the terms of the polynomial. By factoring out the GCF first, the coefficients and constant term of the polynomial will be reduced.

Answer:

Answer B: 10.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be represented by a, b and c. Their sum is 44.84. The number a is 24.6. Further, assume that b = c.

Then 24.6 + b + b = 44.84.

Let's isolate 2b:

Subtract 24.6 from both sides of this equation, obtaining:

2b = 20.24.

Finally, divide both sides of this equation by 2. We get b = 10.12.

This corresponds with Answer B.
