Solve 8(u-2)=3(u+5)

Evaluate

8 (u - 2) = 3 (u + 5)

Calculate

More Steps

8 u - 16 = 3 (u + 5)

Calculate

More Steps

8 u - 16 = 3 u + 15

Move the expression to the left side

8 u - 16 - (3 u + 15) = 0

Calculate

More Steps

5 u - 31 = 0

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

5 u = 0 + 31

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

5 u = 31

Divide both sides

\frac{5 u}{5} = \frac{31}{5}

Solution

u = \frac{31}{5}

Alternative Form

u = 6.2
