Question

1 /2 (u -5) = 2u + 5 can anyone solve this? btw the 1/2 is a fraction so like one half, for anyone confused.

Answer 1

Answer: -5

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 (u-5) = 2u+5

take 1/2 on other side

u-5 = 2 x (2u+5) = 4u+10

take variable term on one side and constant on the other

-5-10 = 4u-u = 3u

3u = -15

u = -5
