Question 1034662: Describe the error in the problem below.
1+ a/6 >2
1+ a >12
x > 11
I think that in the first step, 1 should have been subtracted from both sides instead of multiplying by 6. I don't know for sure though

Well, multiplying by six is perfectly okay, except that it is not done properly...it should look like this...
1 + a/6 > 2
6 + a > 12
x > 6
