1-2x%3C=-6 Start with the given inequality.


-2x%3C=-6-1 Subtract 1 from both sides.


-2x%3C=-7 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3E=%28-7%29%2F%28-2%29 Divide both sides by -2 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


x%3E=7%2F2 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is x%3E=7%2F2
