6.4u-5.1u=-3.25
1.3u= -3.25
u= -2.5
The answer is 2/3

A real world example could be:
Consider x is time in minutes
Consider y is the amount of fish food required in grams
The equation could then represent how much food (in grams) that a fish needs to be fed x minutes after it was previously fed.
You didn't give any choices, but the equation looks like this: 17 = 2x + 5. Solving that for x tells you that he went on a big water slide 6 times. 2 times 6 plus 5 is the $17 he spent at the park. See how well that works out?
