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!

Student P:
They messed up in step 1 because they made the 7.75 positive instead of negative, which causes the entire solution to be wrong
Student Q:
They were correct up until step 3. They didn't take all the negatives out of the equation (ex. -(3.5+7.75+29.67)).
Complete set:
From the picture, it looks like the original problem was
-2.5(1.4+3.1)+6.9(-4.3)
Step 1: multiply
1.4(-2.5)+3.1(-2.5)+6.9(-4.3)
Step 2: subtract (add?) them all together
-3.5-7.75-29.67
Step 3 should equal -40.92
Your answer should be organize, correct me if I’m wrong !
Slope: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(0,7) and (-4,7)
(7-7)/(-4-0) = 0/ -4
The slope is 0
Y=mx+b
so is 2
the last number of the equation
