Let the two parts with equal length have length x.
The longer part has length x + 20.
The sum of the three lengths is 695 m.
x + x + x + 20 = 695
3x + 20 = 695
3x = 675
x = 225
x + 20 = 245
The two short parts measure 225 m, and the long part measures 245 m.
To find the equation take the slope 2/3
y-y(1)=m(x-x(1)
y-4=2/3(x-8) = 2/3x-16/3
Next solve for y
y=2/3x-16/3 +4(turn 4 into a fraction with a common denominator)
y=2/3x-16/3 + 12/3
y=2/3x-4/3
Im not sure but I think the answer is most likely...

Answer: the bill for a hamburger is $0.7
the bill for a salad is $1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the bill for a hamburger.
Let y represent the bill for a salad.
The bill for five hamburgers and four salads is $9.50. This means that
5x + 4y = 9.5- - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1
The bill for four hamburgers and five salads is $10.30. This means that
4x + 5y = 10.3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 4 and equation 2 by 5, it becomes
20x + 16y = 38
20x + 25y = 51.5
Subtracting, it becomes
- 9y = - 13.5
y = - 13.5/ - 9
y = 1.5
Substituting y = 1.5 into equation 1, it becomes
5x + 4(1.5) = 9.5
5x + 6 = 9.5
5x = 9.5 - 6 = 3.5
x = 3.5/5 = 0.7
