That's unusual: repetition: -1/2 - 1/2.
Did you perhaps mean "Factor -1/2 out of (-1/2)x + 6?
Let's do that. Let's rewrite 6 as (-1/2)(-12).
Then (-1/2)x + 6 (-1/2)x -(1/2)(-12)
-------------- = ------------------------ = x - 1/2
-1/2 -1/2
Hope that's what you wanted. If not, please try to apply a similar approach to solving this particular problem.

Answer: about 1 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
x and y are the packs of organic and inorganic fertilizer, respectively.
pounds of nitrogen added = 2x + 6y = 120
pounds of potassium added = 3x + 2y = 54
eliminate the y terms. subtract the first equation from 3 times the second equation.
9x + 6y = 162
-2x - 6y = -120
------------------
7x = 42
x = 6
y = 18
