Question

Solve for u.-3(-6u+5)-3u=3(u-7)-4Simplify your answer as much as possible. =u

Answer 1

Explanation

We are given the following:

`-3(-6u+5)-3u=3(u-7)-4`

We are required to solve for u in the equation given.

This is achieved thus:

`\begin{gathered} -3(-6u+5)-3u=3(u-7)-4 \\ \text{ Remove the brackets } \\ 18u-15-3u=3u-21-4 \\ 18u-3u-15=3u-25 \\ 15u-15=3u-25 \\ 15u-3u=-25+15 \\ 12u=-10 \\ (12u)/(12)=(-10)/(12) \\ u=-(5)/(6) \end{gathered}`

Hence, the answer is:

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