-12 x<-72
Which of the following best describes the solutions to the inequality shown?Choose 1 answer:(A) x<6 (B) x>6 (C) x<\frac{1}{6} (D) x>\frac{1}{6}
Q. −12x<−72Which of the following best describes the solutions to the inequality shown?Choose 1 answer:(A) x<6(B) x>6(C) x<61(D) x>61
Divide by −12: Divide both sides of the inequality by −12 to solve for x. Remember that dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality sign.Calculation: \frac{-12x}{-12} > \frac{-72}{-12}
Calculate x > 6: After dividing, we get x > 6.
Check answer choices: Check the answer choices to see which one matches our solution.(A) x < 6 (Incorrect, the inequality sign is reversed)(B) x > 6 (Correct, this matches our solution)(C) x < \frac{1}{6} (Incorrect, the value is incorrect)(D) x > \frac{1}{6} (Incorrect, the value is incorrect)
