Answer:

  3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "a" represent Alondra's number. Then the math she performs on it is ...

  2a-6 . . . .double my number and subtract 6

  | 2a-6 | < 2 . . . . . the result is less than 2 units from zero

This absolute value expression can be "unfolded" to two of them ...

  -2 < 2a -6 < 2

Dividing by 2 gives ...

  -1 < a -3 < 1

Adding 3, we get ...

  2 < a < 4

The only whole number in this range is ...

  a = 3

Alondra is thinking of the number 3.

Comparing millimeters and centimeters
snow_tiger [21]
The difference between millimeters and centimeters is that, 1 meter = 0.1 cm so as you can see the meter is bigger by Using this table as a reference, you can see the following: A kilogram is 1,000 times larger than one gram (so 1 kilogram = 1,000 grams). A centimeter is 100 times smaller than one meter (so 1 meter = 100 centimeters). A dekaliter is 10 times larger than one liter (so 1 dekaliter = 10 liters).

Sonja [21]

Answer:

The height of the painting is 28.7525 in  and the width is 23.7425 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the height of the painting

y -----> the width of the painting

we know that

The perimeter of the painting is

P=2(x+y)\\P=104.99\ in

so

104.99=2(x+y) ----> equation A

x=y+5.01 ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

104.99=2(y+5.01+y)

52.495=2y+5.01

2y=52.495-5.01

y=23.7425\ in

Find the value of x

x=23.7425+5.01=28.7525\ in

therefore

The height of the painting is 28.7525 in  and the width is 23.7425 in
