Answer:

[tex]24[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply both sides of the inequality by -2 qnd flip the inequality sign:

[tex] - 2 \times ( - \frac{1}{2} )x > - 2x( - 12)[/tex]

Multiply an even number of negative terms make the product positive:

[tex]2 \times \frac{1}{2} x > -2 \times ( - 12)[/tex]

Reduce the number with the greatest common factor 2:

[tex]x > - 2 \times ( - 12)[/tex]

Multiply two negatives equal a positive: ( - ) × ( - ) = ( + ).

Multiply the number:

[tex]x > 2 \times 12[/tex]

[tex] = 24[/tex]
