Solve the compound inequality 60 < 20u < 120

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you have 20u, but you just want 'u' so you have to divide all sides by 20 to isolate 'u'

i got 3 & 6 but which way the arrows go ? this way << or >>

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the inequality signs stay the same

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so you would have 3 < u < 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the arrows dont change... 60 < 20u < 120 (divide by 20 to get u by itself) 60/20 < 20u/20 < 120/20 3 < u < 6
