​

Answer 1

u = -4

Explanation:

Let's solve the problem,

→ 3(u + 2) + 2u = -14

→ 3u + 6 + 2u = -14

→ 5u = -14 - 6

→ u = -20/5

→ [ u = -4 ]

Hence, the value is -4.

Answer 2

• u = - 4

========================

Given equation:

• 3 ( u + 2 ) +2u = - 14

Solve in steps below:

• 3u + 6 + 2u = - 14 Distribute
• 5u + 6 = - 14 Collect like terms
• 5u = - 14 - 6 Add -6 to both sides
• 5u = - 20 Simplify
• u = - 20/5 Divide both sides by 5
• u = - 4
