Question

-2x <-12 solve the inequality

Answer 1

Answer:

x > 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve -2x <-12 for x.  Your answer must be a set of real numbers.

Divide both sides by -2.  Note that if we here divide by a negative number, we must reverse the direction of the inequality symbol:

-2x < - 12

-----   ------

 -2      -2

This becomes x > 6, "the solution set"

Answer 2

Answer:

x > 6

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x < -12

divide by -2

switch signs because you're dividing by a negative number

-2x/-2 < -12/-2

x > 6

Hope this helps :)
