Answer 2

x > 6

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"
