Answer 1

To solve the inequality, we can start by adding 2 to both sides of the inequality:

x/-2 < 4 + 2

This simplifies to:

x/-2 < 6

Now, to isolate x, we can multiply both sides of the inequality by -2. However, we need to flip the inequality sign when multiplying by a negative number:

x > 6 * -2

x > -12

So the solution to the inequality is x > -12.
