u+2=4

anonymous · Answer

Move the 2 to the other side? How would you do it?

shamil98 · Answer

You want to get U by itself.

shamil98 · Answer

so you undo what was done to U.

anonymous · Answer

Yes you'd want to isolate u.

shamil98 · Answer

2 is added to u , so you subtract 2 from both sides .
u + 2 = 4
   -2     -2
u = 2

anonymous · Answer

Okay, that's what I did. I just subtracted two from 4.

anonymous · Answer

What you do to one side, you must do to the other, as shamil98 showed.

anonymous · Answer

Thanks, I just forgot how to do these equations for a minute. So I guess I did it without even knowing that I did it. lol

shamil98 · Answer

Btw, click on close your question, please and thank you.

u +2 =4 
(u) keep as it is and shift +2 to the other side 
u=4-2
u=2 
this is the method of solving it
