Answer:
u=(5)/(2)

Explanation:

Given the equation
(3)/(2)=(u+5)/(5), you need to:

Apply the Multiplication property of equality and multiply both sides of the equation by 5:


(5)((3)/(2))=((u+5)/(5))(5)\\\\(15)/(2)=u+5

Now, applying the Subtraction property of equality, you need to subtract 5 to both sides of the equation. Then you get:


(15)/(2)-5=u+5-5\\u=(5)/(2)
