Question

Solve for v
–12u − –11u − 4u + 7u − –5u = 14

Answer 1

Explanation:

`-12u-\left(-11u\right)-4u+7u-5u=14\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:-\left(-a\right)=a\\-12u+11u-4u+7u-5u=14\\\\\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:-12u+11u-4u+7u-5u=-3u\\-3u=14\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-3\\(-3u)/(-3)=(14)/(-3)\\\\Simplify\\u=-(14)/(3)\\\\u = -4(2)/(3)`
