Answer:

u = - ( 9-6w)/2

Explanation:

to evaluate for u in the expression -2u+6w=9 is simply to look for a way such that we would express u in terms of w and other variables.

solution

-2u+6w=9

-2u = 9 - 6w

divide both sides by the coefficient of u which is -2

-2u/u = 9 - 6w/-2

u = - ( 9-6w)/2

therefore the value of u when rearranged in the equation -2u+6w=9 is evaluated to be equals to

u = - ( 9-6w)/2
