Question

plot the solution of the equation on the number line.

\\4u + 5 = -19\\

Explanation:

⚡ Using what you learned: Solving Two-Step Equations

Step 1: Isolate the variable term

$$ 4u + 5 = -19 $$

$$ 4u = -19 - 5 $$

$$ 4u = -24 $$

Step 2: Solve for \(u\)

$$ u = \frac{-24}{4} $$

$$ u = -6 $$

Step 3: Plot on the number line

Place a solid dot at the value \(-6\) on the number line (one unit to the left of \(-5\)).

Answer:

The solution is \(u = -6\). To plot this, place a solid dot at \(-6\) on the number line.
