Answer:

u = -2

Explanation:

Group


6u+9u+18=-12

Add similar elements in the equation


15u+18=-12

Subtract 18 from all sides


15u+18-18=-12-18

Simplify this


15u=-30

Divide all sides by 15


(15u)/(15)=(-30)/(15)

Divide 15 by 15, removing u


(15)/(15) = u

Transform
(-30)/(15) by using the fraction rule.


-(30)/(15)

Divide 30 by 15.


(30)/(15) = 2

Thus,

u = -2
