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!

Answer:
A lily costs $7 and a geranium $4.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we can write two equations. let the number of lilies be l and the number of geraniums be g, then:
5
g
+
4
l
=
48
4
g
+
6
l
=
58
Multiply the first equation by 4 and the second by 5, the number of lilies in the other gives:
20
g
+
16
l
=
192
20
g
+
30
l
=
290
Subtract the first equation from the second gives:
14
l
=
98 which dividing by 14 gives l
=
7
Substituting the value l
=
7 in the first equation gives:
5
g
+
28
=
48
Subtract 20 from both sides gives:
5
g
=
20 divide by 5 gives g
=
4
So, a lily costs $7 and a geranium costs $4.
Substitute the x and y values from (3,2).
Formula: y=mx+b
2= 3(3)+b
2-9= -7
y=3x-7
