To solve for x, we multiply both sides of the inequality by 2 to get rid of the fraction:
-1 < x/2
-2 < x
So x is greater than -2.
On the number line, this would be represented as an open circle at -2 with an arrow pointing to the right to show that x is greater than -2.

Explanation: The open circle at -2 indicates that -2 is not included as a part of the solution, and the arrow to the right shows that x is greater than -2.
Solve for xx and graph the solution on the number line below.
