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.

Answer:
x = 1± 3i
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2-2x+10=0
We can complete the square to solve by subtracting 10 from each side
x^2-2x+10-10=-10
x^2 -2x = -10
We need to add (2/2) ^2 to each side or 1
x^2 -2x+1 = -10 +1
x^2 -2x+1 = -9
The left side factors into (x- (2/2) ) ^2
(x-1) ^2 = -9
Take the square root of each side
sqrt((x-1) ^2 =± sqrt(-9)
x-1 = ±sqrt(-1) sqrt(3)
Remember the sqrt(-1) = i
x-1 = ± 3i
Add 1 to each side
x-1+1 = 1± 3i
x = 1± 3i
-7 to make 4 so -4x=4 x=-1
The answer is x=-1
Hope this helps:)
( 6 , 2)
in other words :
x = 6 , y = 2
