When we multiply or divide by a negative to solve an inequality, it's the same as multiplying or dividing by a negative to solve a regular equation! Just remember to multiply or divide both sides by the same quantity, then simplify! Remember, when multiplying or dividing by a negative YOU MUST FLIP THE INEQUALITY SIGN.

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

The total cost of 4 goldfish and 3 guppies is $29. 3 goldfish and 5 guppoes cost $30. How much does each cost
Aneli [31]

let the goldfish be x and the guppies be y

4x + 3y = 29...equ(1)

3x + 5y = 30...equ(2)

multiplying equation 1 by 5 and equation 2 by 3

20x + 15y = 145...equ(1)

9x + 15y = 90...equ(2)

subtracting equation 2 from 1

11x = 55

∴x = 5

 substituting the value of x into equation

4(5) + 3y = 29

20 + 3y = 29

3y = 9

∴y =3

A rhombus has diagonals 500 yd and 800 yd in length. Find the area in square miles.
nordsb [41]
We know that
<span>A simple formula for the area of a rhombus when you know the lengths of the diagonals is half the product of the diagonals
</span>
Area=d1*d2/2
d1=500 yd
d2=800 yd

1 mile is equal to -----> 1760 yd
x mile---------------> 500 yd
x=500/1760----> x=0.2841 mi

1 mile is equal to -----> 1760 yd
x mile---------------> 800 yd
x=800/1760----> x=0.4545 mi

Area=(0.2641*0.4545)/2-----> 0.06 miles²

the answer is
0.06 miles²
