Solve for x. show your work. -1/2 x < -12

All you need to do is divide -1/2 onto the other side.

-1/2x<-12

-12/ (-1/2)= 6 (a negative and a negative equals a positive)

Also, since you are dividing a negative, you flip the sign.

x>6

I hope this helps!

-1/2x < -12 multiply both sides by -2, and change inequality sign
x > -12 * -2
x > 24
