Question

solve for u.
8u - 11 = 6u - 5
simplify your answer as much as possible.
u =

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract \(6u\) from both sides

\(8u - 6u - 11 = 6u - 6u - 5\)
\(2u - 11 = -5\)

Step2: Add 11 to both sides

\(2u - 11 + 11 = -5 + 11\)
\(2u = 6\)

Step3: Divide both sides by 2

\(\frac{2u}{2} = \frac{6}{2}\)
\(u = 3\)

Answer:

\(u = 3\)
