196u4
196u4−7=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
196u4=0+7
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
196u4=7
Divide both sides
196196u4=1967
Divide the numbers
u4=1967
Cancel out the common factor 7
u4=281
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
