Question

Solve for u47=-u/3 Simplify your answer as much as possible

Answer 1

`47=-(u)/(3)`

We are going to multiply both sides for -1

`\begin{gathered} 47*-1=-(u)/(3)*-1 \\ \\ -47=(u)/(3) \\ \\ -47*3=u \\ u=-(47)*3=-141 \end{gathered}`

demonstration:

`-((-141))/(3)=47`

Answer, the value of u is: -141.
