Does any1 know how to solve this need it asap pls

U+14=3u-2

Answer 1

Answer: U = 8

Explanation:

U + 14 = 3u - 2
Subtract U from both sides
14 = 2u - 2
Add a 2 to both sides to isolate the variable
16 = 2u
Divide by 2 to figure out the value of U
8 = u

Answer 2

u = 8

Explanation:

`\begin{aligned}&\text{Given}: & u+14&=3u-2\\\\&\text{Switch sides}: & 3u-2&=u+14\\\\&\text{Subtract $u$ from both sides}: \quad \quad & 3u-2-u&=u+14-u\\\\&\text{Simplify}: & 2u-2&=14\\\\&\text{Add $2$ to both sides}: & 2u-2+2&=14+2\\\\&\text{Simplify}: & 2u&=16\\\\&\text{Divide both sides by $2$}: & (2u)/(2)&=(16)/(2)\\\\&\text{Simplify}: & u&=8\end{aligned}`
