Solve 5(u-3)-8u=-18

Evaluate

5 (u - 3) - 8 u = - 18

Move the expression to the left side

5 (u - 3) - 8 u - (- 18) = 0

If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses

5 (u - 3) - 8 u + 18 = 0

Calculate the sum or difference

More Steps

- 3 u + 3 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- 3 u = 0 - 3

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 3 u = - 3

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

3 u = 3

Divide both sides

\frac{3 u}{3} = \frac{3}{3}

Divide the numbers

u = \frac{3}{3}
