Answer 1

1. subtract 1 from -11
2. divide by -2 (remember to switch flip the inequality sign because you are dividing by a negative).

Answer 2

1.Add 2x both sides
2.add 11 both sides
3.divide by 2 both sides.

Answer 3

Just curious as to why you added 2x to both sides, ajprincess.

Answer 4

Jst to eliminate the confusion of flipping the inequality signs.

Answer 5

So,
-2x+1<-11
-1 -1
-2x>-12?

Answer 6

You don't flip the sign until you divide by a negative number. But your steps are correct so far.
