You can put this solution on YOUR website!
In number symbolism , x(y/2)/9=-10, done in just text.
This way when rendering tags added: x%28y%2F2%29%2F9=-10

STEPS TO SIMPLIFY
x%28y%2F2%29=-10%2A9
%28xy%29%2F2=-90
xy=-90%2A2
highlight_green%28xy=-180%29


You can look for any set of (x,y) points you want. If you are interested in some convenient
solution points, look at the whole-number factorizations for 180. Pick an x value, and solve for
the corresponding y value. One such simple data point is (10,-18); and another is (-60,3). You can
find several other convenient data points.
