Answer 1

Given that:

$G=\frac{d}{1-u}$

- we cross multiply as follows:

$G\times(1-u)=d$

- we divide both sides by G, as follows:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{G\times(1-u)}{G}=\frac{d}{G} \\ \end{gathered}$$1-u=\frac{d}{G}$

- Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation:

$1-u-1=\frac{d}{G}-1$$-u=\frac{d}{G}-1$

- multiply both sides of the equation by -1, as follows:

$-u\times-1=(\frac{d}{G}-1)\times-1$$u=-\frac{d}{G}+1$

Therefore, we have that:

$u=1-\frac{d}{G}$

or:

$u=\frac{G-d}{G}$
