Question
Solve the inequality
Solve the inequality by testing the values in the interval
Solve the inequality by separating into cases
Solve for u
u<−1
Alternative Form
u∈(−∞,−1)
Evaluate
7u3<−7
Move the expression to the left side
7u3−(−7)<0
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
7u3+7<0
Rewrite the expression
7u3+7=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
7u3=0−7
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
7u3=−7
Divide both sides
77u3=7−7
Divide the numbers
u3=7−7
