Question

Solve for u. -24 = u ÷ 6

u = ____

Answer 1

The value of u is -144

Solution:

Given that,

`-24 = u / 6`

We have to solve for "u"

From given,

`-24 = u / 6`

Convert the division problem into multiplication, by changing the division sign to multiplication sign. Then invert the number to right of division sign

Thus we get,

`-24 = u * (1)/(6)\\\\(u)/(6) = -24`

Isolate for u

`u = -24 * 6\\\\On\ multiplying\ both\ we\ get\\\\u = -144`

Thus the value of u is -144
