You flip the inequality.
Example: if x > -y and you divide both sides by (-1) then you flip the inequality so: -x < y

Answer:
y =
and x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve simultaneous equations, you need to have the number in front of both x's or y's the same. (signs doesn't matter)
To get -x to -10x we simply need to multiply the first equation by 10:
-x * 10 = -10x
-9y * 10 = -90y
16 * 10 = 160
-10x - 90y = 160
Now we can add the two equations:
-10x + 10x = 0
-90y + 20y = -70y
160 + 20 = 180
-70y = 180
70y = -180
7y = -18
y = 
Now plug
into the second equation:
10x + 20(
) = 20
10x -
= 20
Move the
over to the other side, making it a positive:
10x = 20 + 
10x = 
Divide both sides by 10:
x = 
So y =
and x =

Answer:
£35,020
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount paid to David after increase
= £34000 + 3% of £34000
= £34000 + 0.03*£34000
= £34000 + £1,020
=£35,020
Answer:

Variable is a symbol that represents a quantity in a mathematical expression, as used in many sciences. Variable (research), a logical set of attributes. Variable star, a type of astronomical star.

A constant, sometimes also called a "mathematical constant," is any well-defined real number which is significantly interesting in some way. A function, equation, etc., is said to "be constant" (or be a constant function) if it always assumes the same value independent of how its parameters are varied.
8/ (1 1/2) = 36/x....8 muffins to 1 1/2 tsp = 36 ( 3 doz) muffins to x tsp
this is a proportion, so we cross multiply
(8)(x) = (1 1/2)(36)
8x = 3/2 * 36
8x = 108/2
8x = 54
x = 54/8
x = 6 3/4 <=== 6 3/4 tsps are needed to make 3 doz muffins
