Question

Solve for u, Simplify your answer as much as possible

52=5u-8

Answer 1

12 = u

Explanation:

52=5u-8

Add 8 to each side

52+8=5u-8+8

60 = 5u

Divide each side by 5

60/5 = 5u/5

12 = u

Answer 2

Answer:

u = 12

Explanation:

52 = 5u - 8

Step 1. Add 8 to both sides

60 = 5u

Step 2. Solve for u

5u = 60

u = 60/5

u = 12
