Because l•w= area, area= 320, l=w+4
width • (width +4)= 320

Distribute the multiplication over addition and move all to the left side.
w^2 +4w-320=0
(w-16)•(w+20)=0 yet, The product of two things is 0 if one is 0 or both are 0 so
w-16=0 so w=16 and
w+20=0 so w= -20

Now the width or length could not be negative so we discard the solution w=-20.

Answer
width= 16 inches
length =16+4=20

Verify
w•l=320
16•20=320✔️

What you have so far is correct.

Problem 7 is a function because none of the x values repeat. Each x input goes to exactly one y output. The y values can repeat. If the y values repeat, then we don't have a one-to-one function.

In contrast, problem 8 is not a function. We have x = 1 go to y = 8 and y = 6 at the same time. This is one example showing we don't have one output for a given input.

The supplement of an angle is three times the measure of the angle.
stira [4]

Answer: The angle equals  45 ∘  and the supplement is  135 ∘

Explanation:

Since the supplement is three times the angle, we can say    s  =  3 a

Since we know the supplement is  

180 − a , we can plug that in.

180 - a = 3a

180  = 4 a  (add  a  to both sides)

45  =  a  (divide both sides by  4)

Since we know the angle now, all we have to do is multiply it times  3  to find the supplement.

45  ×  3  =  135
