Final answer:

To solve for u in the given equation, we can start by combining like terms on both sides, then clear the fractions and simplify, and finally solve for u by dividing both sides by the coefficient of u.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for u in the given equation, we can start by combining like terms on both sides:

-\(\frac{7}{3}u+\frac{2}{5}=-3u-\frac{1}{5}\)

Multiplying both sides by 15 to clear the fractions, we get:

-35u + 6 = -45u - 3

Next, we can add 45u to both sides and subtract 6 from both sides:

10u = -9

Finally, dividing both sides by 10 gives us the solution:

u = -\(\frac{9}{10}\)
