We are given the following equation:


-4+2u=6

Where are asked to find the value of "u". To do that we need first to solve for "u", first by adding 4 on both sides:


\begin{gathered} -4+4+2u=6+4 \\ 2u=10 \end{gathered}

Now, we will divide by 2 on both sides:


\begin{gathered} (2u)/(2)=(10)/(2) \\ u=5 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the value of "u" is 5
