How to solve (5u - 5)/5 = 6

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Question

$$\frac{5u-5}{5}=6$$

Solve for u

$u=7$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by $5$.

$$5u-5=6\times 5$$

Multiply $6$ and $5$ to get $30$.

$$5u-5=30$$

Add $5$ to both sides.

$$5u=30+5$$

Add $30$ and $5$ to get $35$.

$$5u=35$$

Divide both sides by $5$.

$$u=\frac{35}{5}$$

Divide $35$ by $5$ to get $7$.

$$u=7$$
