Question

anyone help i suck at fractions

Answer 1

how far did you get? anywhere at all?

Answer 2

-1/5u = 1/3 + 1/4
-1/5u= 4/12 +3/12
-1/5u= 7/12
u= -5/1 x 7/12

Answer 3

not sure if i did this right

Answer 4

very good. You add 1/4 to both sides, get the fractions to have the same denominator (12) and then add

then you multiply both sides by the reciprocal of -1/5 to isolate u

Answer 5

one last step is to multiply the fractions -5/1 and 7/12 to get ???

Answer 6

35/12?

Answer 7

-35/12, don't forget the negative

Answer 8

35 and 12 have nothing in common (except for 1) in terms of factors, so -35/12 can't be reduced any further
