Q. Solve for uu.\newlineu+15<1u + 15 < -1 or u+14>11u + 14 > 11\newlineWrite your answer as a compound inequality with integers.\newlineChoices:\newline(A)u16u \leq -16 or u3u \geq -3\newline(B)u<16u < -16 or u>3u > -3\newline(C)u16u \leq -16 or u>3u > -3\newline(D)u<16u < -16 or u3u \geq -3
  1. Isolate uu in first inequality: To solve the compound inequality, we need to isolate uu in both inequalities. Let's start with the first inequality u + 15 < -1.\newlineSubtract 1515 from both sides to isolate uu.\newlineu + 15 - 15 < -1 - 15\newlineu < -16
  2. Isolate uu in second inequality: Now let's solve the second inequality u + 14 > 11.\newlineSubtract 1414 from both sides to isolate uu.\newlineu + 14 - 14 > 11 - 14\newlineu > -3
  3. Combine into compound inequality: We have two separate inequalities as a result of our calculations: u < -16 and u > -3. These can be combined into a compound inequality using "or" because the original statement used "or".\newlineThe final compound inequality is u < -16 or u > -3.
