hey guys, tried these problem for a bit but do not think I am on the right track, could someone help me get a lift off with these peoblems, thanks !

the first question:
Find all u satisfying the equation
u+2=|7u+2|/4+u

for this one i have tried to isolate u, then sub it into the quad formula.


And the second question is:
Find all t satisfying the inequality
(2t+6)^1/2 >(or equal to) |t+1| -1

and for this one i don't know where to begin =\

thank you !

Please don't double post. This does, however, belong here in the homework forum.

In order to obtain help here you need to show some work.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
