Santiago is thinking of a number. He gives 3 clues about the number: The number is greater than -8, the absolute value of the number is even, and the absolute value of the number is between 5 and 11. What could the number be? Explain how you got this number. I´m not sure, but I think the number is 8.

step-by-step explanation:

let x and 400 - x be the two numbers.  

==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68 from the statement of the problem.  

< ==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68  

==> 340 - 0.05x = 332  

< ==> -0.05x = -8 ==> x = 160, the first number ==> 400 - x = 240, the second number.

to be honest i don't know but i need points so

well, if it's triangular garden, the triangle could represent the garden.
