Solve the inequality for u .

Question

-3u ≥ 12
Simplify your answer as much as possible.

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \(-3u \geq 12\), follow these steps:

1. Divide both sides of the inequality by -3. Remember that when you divide or multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign:

   \[ u \leq \frac{12}{-3} \]

2. Simplify the right side:

   \[ u \leq -4 \]

So, the solution to the inequality is:

\[ u \leq -4 \]
