Combining like terms: First do the first part which is 6(u-4)-8, you first distribute 6 to u and -4, 6u-24-8 -24-8=-32, 6u-32 Second part the same thing , distribute -6 to -4u and 6, (negative times a negative equals a positive) 24u-36-2u 24u-2u=22u
Solving: 6u-32=22u-36 Subtract 6u on both sides, -32=16u-36 Add 36 on both sides, 4=16u Divide 16 on both sides U=4/16 which is 0.25
