Solve 9x - 7i < 3 (3x -7u)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please what is the meaning of \(i\) and \(u\) ?

OpenStudy (lelemarie2001):

uh... I dunno

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: if we apply the distributive property of multiplication at the right side, we get: \[\Large 9x - 7i = 9x - 21u\]

OpenStudy (lelemarie2001):

oh wait I got it my friend just helped me

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

oops.. I have made a typo: \[\huge 9x - 7i < 9x - 21u\]

OpenStudy (lelemarie2001):

can you check tho

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

if we subtract \(9x\) from both sides, we can write this: \[\Large \begin{gathered} 9x - 7i - 9x < 9x - 21u - 9x \hfill \\ \hfill \\ - 7i < - 21u \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

as we can see, if I have no conditions on \(u\) and \(i\), I'm not able to say anything

OpenStudy (lelemarie2001):

ohh

OpenStudy (lelemarie2001):

So then its i <3 u right?

OpenStudy (lelemarie2001):

Thank you!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please, from last inequality, we can write this: \[\huge i > 3u\]
