Let x represent the worth of the professional basketball player's autograph a year ago. Since his autograph's worth increased by 40% now, $364 is 1.40x.
364 = 1.40x
Solving for x gives x = 260.
Thus, the autograph of the basketball player was worth only $260 last year.

If you have a problem like:
4x+2y=20
2x+2y=16
You would subtract
4x-2y=20
-2x+2y=16
You would get the new problum
2x=4
You now want to divide the 2 on both sides to solve for x
x=2
Now that you've solved for X you want to solve for y. So use substitution to solve for y. You would want to substatute the x for the 2 in either of the problums. I'll use the first one.
4(2)+2y=20
You first want to multiply te 4(2) you would get a new problum.
8+2y=20
Now you want to subtract the 8 on both sides.
2y=12
The last step to solve for y is to divide the 2 on both sides.
Y=6
So your answers would be
x=2
y=6
we have
Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side
Rewrite as perfect squares
therefore
the answer is
