31= 6(u+3)+7u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have to find a number to substitute for u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just do distributive property

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I tried.. I can't figure it out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey @Night-Watcher can you help me with mine after you're done with her/his priobelm>

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then do the normal drill of getting u alone

OpenStudy (anonymous):

31= 6(u+3)+7u Okay so you know the distributive property.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Simplify the following complex fraction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So do that first part, you get 6u+18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do u evwn solve that/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uhm... Would it be 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 6u+18+7u so combine similar terms: 6u+7u= 13u + 18 So now you have 13u+18 = 31 get u by itself so... 13u+18 = 31 -18 -18 _________________________ 13u= 13 get u alone so 13/13 and u = 1
