Question

Solve the following linear equation using equivalent equations to isolate the variable. Express your answer as an integer, as a simplified fraction, or as a decimal number rounded to two places.

Answer 1

`u=(1)/(5)`

Step-by-step explanation

We want to solve the given linear equation:

`-6u=(-6)/(5)`

To do this, divide both sides of the equation by -6 to isolate u and simplify:

`\begin{gathered} (-6u)/(-6)=(-6)/(5)\cdot(1)/(-6) \\ \Rightarrow u=(1)/(5) \end{gathered}`

That is the solution to the linear equation.
