Hey there!
1)
Firstly, let's set up your problem
The "x" will represent a invisible -1 until we find the actual value of it!
So,
[tex]\frac{-1}{2} x < -1[/tex]
Nextly, we have to have multiply by a negative 2 (-2) on each of your sides
[tex]-2 (\frac{-1}{2} x ) < -2(-1)[/tex]
Answer: [tex]x>2[/tex]
(It's a open shaded circle to the RIGHT)
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
