When y is directly proportional to x,
y=kx (k is a constant)
when x=12, y=16
12k=16
k=4/3
hence, y=4/3x
Since both the expressions in x are equal to y then they are equal to each other, so
-2x + 3 = 13x - 4
-15x + 3 = -4
-15x = -7
x = 7/15
and y = -2(7/15) + 3 = 31/15 = 2 1/15
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
