2(3u+7)=-4(3-2u)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have to solve the variable 'u'. so let me ask, what is preventing you from collecting all the u's to one side?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think u have to distribute the numbers on the outside of the parenthesis into the parenthesis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right...once the parenthesis are both gone, you can freely manipulate the individual terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then its 6u+14=-12+8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup, 'u' on the final 8 term

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2u+14=-12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2u=-26

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6u -8u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2
