Area=legnth times width or
a=lw

if w=4/5l
and a=320 then subsitute 320 for a dn 4/5l for w
320=4/5l times l
multiply both sides by 5 to clear fraction
1600=4l times l
ad like terms
1600=4l^2
subtract 1600 from both sides
0=4l^2-1600
try and factor because if you have xy=0 then x and/or y=0 so
difference of 2 perfect squares where
if you have a^2-b^2 then that equals(a-b)(a+b) so
0=(2l)^2-(40)^2=(2l-40)(2l+40)

so 2l-40=0
add 40 to both sides
2l=40
divide by 2
l=20

if
2l+40=0
subtract 40 from both sides
2l=-40
divide 2
l=-20
since meausrements of real objects cannot be negative, wediscard this number


l=20 is thhe true legnth s
subsitute
w=4/5l
w=4/5(20)
w=80/5
w=16

legnth=20
width=16

Answer:

  see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't know the drivers' names or when or where they started. We have made the assumption that the second equation pertains to Kylie.

Each line is plotted with the appropriate slope and y-intercept. The slope is the coefficient of x, and represents the "rise" for each unit of "run" to the right.
