Multiply the top equation by -3 and the bottom equation by 2.
I assume that you mean that you are given a differential equation dy/dx and want to solve it. If that is the case, then you would multiply by dx on both sides and then integrate both the left and right sides of the equation.
When you have a negative variable in an equation that you are trying to solve for, you multiply each side of the equation by -1. If it is an inequality such as <, you would flip the sign to > and vice versa.
I=Prt is a multiplication problem. All you need is the Principle, rate, and time. Then you multiply then together.
To solve proportions, you need to set up a ratio equation where two ratios are equal to each other. Cross-multiply by multiplying the numerator of the first ratio by the denominator of the second ratio, and vice versa. Then solve for the variable by dividing both sides of the equation by the coefficient of the variable. Finally, check your solution by plugging it back into the original proportion to ensure it balances.
