Question

how do you solve 7 - 6u = 5u + 29 ( please provide a step by step explanation on how to solve ) *extra points *

Answer 1

u = -2

Explanation:

Here is how to solve the equation,

`7 - 6u = 5u + 29\\`

What I did first was isolate the variable by adding to both sides.

7 - 6u = 5u + 29

+ 6u +6u

7 = 11u + 29

Our new equation now needs to be simplified by subtracting from both sides, like so...

7 = 11u + 29

-29 -29

-22 = 11u

Time to divide and solve for the variable u.

`(-22)/(11)` and
`(11u)/(11)`

That leaves us with, -2 = u

Hope this helps and have a great day!
