Answer:

u = 7 OR u = 13

Explanation:

Using the zero property of multiplication, you know you have to make either u-7 or u-13 equal to zero. You get the two solutions from these two cases, where you make either of the equations equal to 0:

u - 7 = 0

Add 7 to both sides

u = 7

u - 13 = 0

Add 13 to both sides

u = 13

FINAL ANSWER: u = 7 OR u = 13
