An architect designing a parking lot has a row of 202 ft wide to divide into spaces for compact cars and full-size cars. The architect determines that 16 compact car spaces and 6 full-size car spaces use the width, or that 12 compact car spaces and 9 full-size car spaces use a width of 201 ft. What are the widths (to the nearest 0.1 ft) of the spaces being planned?(NOT GRAPHICALLY)

Let's Assume that the width of Compact sized car is x and the width of full-size car is y.
According to the Question, 16 compact car spaces and 6 full-size car spaces use the width and in the next case 12 compact car spaces and 9 full-size car spaces use a width of 201 ft.
