Answer:

12

Explanation:

(1/2)x < 6

Divide both sides by 1/2.

Doing so, we get x < 12.

What does x < 12 mean?

It means that to satisfy the original given problem, the value of x must be less than 12.

Understand?

Answer: x < 12

Explanation:

In this problem, we want to find what values of x adhere to the inequality 1/2x < 6.

In order to find this, we simply need to isolate the x by multiplying both sides by 2, where we will end up with:


(1)/(2)x * 2 = x\\6 * 2 = 12\\

Replace each side of the inequality with these new values, and we find that whenever x < 12 then 1/2x < 6

If you need anything else explained please let me know.
