Question

-26=4+5u

Answer 1

need help please !

Answer 2

You want to get the term with the variable, u, on its own side, and the extra numbers on the other side. We can subtract 4 from both sides.

-26=4+5u
-26-4=4-4+5u
-30=5u

Now, we need to get rid of that 5 next to the u. We can divide both sides by 5.

-30=5u
-30/5=5u/5
-6=u
