Answer:

u = 10

Explanation:

given the equation


(1)/(4) (4u + 12) - 1 = 12 ← distribute parenthesis on left side by
(1)/(4)

u + 3 - 1 = 12 ( simplify left side )

u + 2 = 12 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

u = 10

Answer: U=5

Cuz
1/4 of 12 is 3
1/4 of 4u is 1u

So then the equation is:
(u+3)-1=12
By simplifing its u+2=12
