Answer and Explanation:

The coefficient of a variable is the number that the variable is multiplied by.

In the given expression:


(5u + 3)/(2)

we can identify the coefficient of the variable
u as 5.

Next, we can find the value of the expression when u = -3 with the following steps:


(5u + 3)/(2)

plugging in -3 for
u


(5(-3) + 3)/(2)

executing the multiplication ...
5* (-3) = -15


\frac{-15+3}2

executing the addition ...
-15 + 3 = 3 - 15 = -12


(-12)/(2)

executing the division ...
(-12) / 2 = -6


\boxed{-6}
