Question

For each value of u determine whether it is a solution to -2u-6<-20

Answer 1

The answer is:

u > 7

In-depth explanation:

You haven't told me what the values of u are, but I'll solve the equation for u.

Add 6 on each side:

`\bf{-2u-6 < -20}`

`\bf{-2u < -14}`

Divide each side by -1 and reverse the sign:

`\bf{2u > 14}`

Now divide each side by 2

`\bf{u > 7}`

Answer 2

u > 7

Explanation:

-2u -6 < -20 Add 6 to both sides

-2u - 6 + 6 < -20 + 6

-2u < -14 Divide both sides by -2. When you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number, you must flig the sign.

`(-2u)/(-2)` >
`(-14)/(-2)`

u > 7
