Answer: u = 8

Explanation:

We need to get the variable by itself first. In this case the variable is u.

u is really just mutliplied by -4, (-4 x u). In this situation, the opposite of multiplication is division. So, we need to divide -4u by -4 on each side.

-32 = -4u

-32/-4 = -4u/-4

8 = u

u = 8
