Q. Solve for uu.\newlineu>14|-u| > 14\newlineWrite a compound inequality like 1<x<31 < x < 3 or like x<1x < 1 or x>3x > 3. Use integers, proper fractions, or improper fractions in simplest form.\newline______
  1. Understand absolute value: We have the inequality: \newlineu>14|-u| > 14 \newlineFirst, we need to understand the absolute value inequality. The absolute value of a number is always non-negative, so u>14|-u| > 14 means that the value of u-u is either greater than 1414 or less than 14-14.
  2. Split into two inequalities: Now we can split the inequality into two separate inequalities to remove the absolute value: u>14-u > 14 or u<14-u < -14
  3. Solve first inequality: Next, we solve each inequality for uu. Starting with the first inequality: u>14-u > 14 Multiply both sides by 1-1 (remember to flip the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number): u<14u < -14
  4. Solve second inequality: Now, we solve the second inequality:\newlineu<14-u < -14\newlineMultiply both sides by 1-1 (again, remember to flip the inequality sign):\newlineu>14u > 14
  5. Combine both inequalities: Combining both inequalities, we get the compound inequality:\newlineu<14u < -14 or u>14u > 14\newlineThis is the solution to the original problem.
