SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on solving two mathematical problems involving equations and inequalities. The first problem requires finding all values of u that satisfy the equation u + 2 = |7u + 2|/4 + u, where the user attempted to isolate u and apply the quadratic formula. The second problem involves finding all values of t that satisfy the inequality (2t + 6)^(1/2) ≥ |t + 1| - 1, with the user expressing uncertainty on how to approach it. The forum emphasizes the importance of showing work for effective assistance.

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.
