Question

complete the process of solving the equation. fill in the missing term and select the missing description. simplify any fractions. \\(\frac{u}{12} + 15 = 15\\) \\(\frac{u}{12} = 0\\) \\(u = \square\\) multiply both sides by 12

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the first step

To get from \(\frac{u}{12}+15 = 15\) to \(\frac{u}{12}=0\), we subtract 15 from both sides. So the missing description for the first step (from \(\frac{u}{12}+15 = 15\) to \(\frac{u}{12}=0\)) is "Subtract 15 from both sides".

Step2: Solve for \(u\)

We have \(\frac{u}{12}=0\). To solve for \(u\), we multiply both sides by 12. So \(u = 0\times12\).

Step3: Calculate the value of \(u\)

\(0\times12 = 0\), so \(u = 0\).

Answer:

The missing description for the first step (from \(\frac{u}{12}+15 = 15\) to \(\frac{u}{12}=0\)) is "Subtract 15 from both sides" and the value of \(u\) is \(0\). So the completed table is:

For the first empty box (description): Subtract 15 from both sides

For the second empty box (value of \(u\)): \(0\)
