now notice something here, with 6u/6u =1 or u
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes , so for u i got - or +1but when i plugged it into the original equation i got 0 in the denominator
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
6-(6/u+1) this is only solving for U, I don't know why you are plugging back for??

Once you find U take the U= and sub in for it.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
only replace U nothing more
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is the value of U 1?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
U=-42 that because you -36-6 when we have two negatives we add and the result is negative
