Answer:


\Huge\boxed{\mathsf{U=5}}}

Explanation:

Isolate u on one side of the equation.

13u-11u=2u (Subtract elements to the numbers from left to right).

2u=10

2u/2=10/2 (Divide by 2 from both sides.)

10/2 (Solve & Simplify.)

10/2=5

U=5

Therefore, the correct answer is u=5.

Answer:

u = 0

Explanation:


13u-11u=0\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\(13-11)u=0\\\\2u=0\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\(2u)/(2)=(0)/(2)\\\\u=0
