Question

Is u= -1/2 a solution of 8u - 1 =6u? yes or no

Answer 1

u = -½ is not a solution of 8u - 1 = 6u

Step-by-step explanation

We are asked to determine if u = -½ is a solution of

8u - 1 = 6u

To know this, we can just solve the equation

8u - 1 = 6u

8u - 6u = 1

2u = 1

Divide both sides by 2

(2u/2) = (1/2)

u = ½

So, u = -½ is evidently not a solution of this equation.

Hope this Helps!!!
