Solving inequalities

[cindy0904]

I'm trying to help my daughter and have no idea how to solve several pre-algebra worksheet problems.

Solve each inequality
24 > -6u

Can anyone help or provide an online link for step-by-step solving?

Her book is:
Author: Davison, Landau, McCracken, Thompson
Title: Pre-Algebra: Tools for a Changing World (2001)
Publisher: Prentice Hall

I'd be ok with paying for a service, but can't find any good help. thank you!

Treat inequalities like a normal equation

24 > -6u

take -6u to the left to get rid of the - sign

therefore

24 + 6u > 0

Now move 24 to the right hand side (don't forget to change the sign)

6u > -24

divide both sides by 6 and now...

u > -4
