Question

Given: -1/2x > 6. Choose the solution set.

A .{x | x R, x > -12}
B .{x | x R, x < -12}
C .{x | x R, x > -3}
D. {x | x R, x < -3}

Answer 1

the answer would be B. You multiply the 2 on both sides, getting 12 on the right. Then you divide by -1, and that switches the sign and makes 12 negative.
