Answer:u=7

Explanation:

-6u+4(u-4)=-30

Opening the brackets

-6u+(4u-16)=-30

-6u+4u-16=-30

-2u=-30+16

-2u=-14

-2u/-2=-14/-2

u=7

Steps to solve:

-6u + 4(u - 4) = -30

~Distribute

-6u + 4u - 16 = -30

~Combine like terms

-2u - 16 = -30

~Add 16 to both sides

-2u - 16 + 16 = -30 + 16

~Simplify

-2u = -14

~Divide -2 to both sides

-2u/-2 = -14/-2

~Simplify

u = 7

Best of Luck!
