Question

Please explain how i do this. Thank you. :)

Answer 1

To make it easier, I'll rewrite it to 5u + 3 = -22

First, subtract 3 from both sides.  5u = -25

Then, divide both sides by 5.  u = -5

Answer 2

3 + 5u = -22

Add -3 to each side.

3 + -3 + 5u = -22 + -3

Combine like terms.

5u = -22 + -3

5u = -25

Divide each side by 5.

u = -5


Also, Aleks was terrible when I had to do it. I'm so sorry for you, I hope this helps though!
