Equality Properties

Explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

-24 = u/6

Step 2: Solve for u

1. Multiply 6 on both sides: -144 = u
2. Rewrite: u = -144

Step 3: Check

Plug in u into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

1. Substitute in u: -24 = -144/6
2. Divide: -24 = -24

Here we see that -24 does indeed equal -24.

∴ u = -144 is a solution of the equation.
