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.
Answer:
a set of two or more equations, each containing two or more variables whose values can simultaneously satisfy both or all the equations in the set, the number of variables being equal to or less than the number of equations in the set.
Step-by-step explanation:
It works because of two properties of equations: Multiplying (or dividing) the expression on each side by the same number does not alter the equation. Adding two equations produces another valid equation: e.g. 2x = x + 10 (x = 10) and x − 3 = 7 (x also = 10).
Answer:
The slope of the line is -5
Answer:
a = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
a - 3/10 = 1/5
Add 3/10 to each side
a - 3/10 +3/10 = 1/5+3/10
a = 1/5+3/10
Get a common denominator
a= 1/5*2/2 +3/10
a = 2/10 +3/10
a = 5/10
Divide the top and bottom by 5
a = 1/2
