@jdoe0001

Answer 2

\[-7(-4u+8)-8u = 5(u-9)-1\]
first combine
\[28u-56-8u = 5u-45-1\]
can you take it from there?

Answer 3

not combine sorry distribute

Answer 4

25u-102?

Answer 5

close, it looks like you forgot to switch signs

Answer 6

remember that 15+3x = 5
is the same as 15-5= -3x

you have to switch signs when putting the value on the other side

Answer 7

so 41u - 102?

Answer 8

no here\[28u - 56 - 8u = 5u-45-1\]
\[28u-8u-5u=56-45-1\]

Answer 9

15u = 10?

Answer 10

yep, so what's u?

Answer 11

15?

Answer 12

no

Answer 13

divide each side by 15

Answer 14

0.66666666666666666667

Answer 15

yea or 10/15, simplify that

Answer 16

15 divided by 10 is 1.5 could that be u?

Answer 17

10 over 15, not 15 over 10, you can submit an answer as .666666666666667 or you could more accurately say 2/3
