Correct Question:
5 (u + 1) - 7 = 3 (u - 1) + 2u.
Solve for u
Answer:
See explanation below
Step-by-step explanation:
In this given question, we are required to find u.
Given the equation:
5 (u + 1) - 7 = 3 (u - 1) + 2u
Required:
Solve for u
To find u, first simplify both sides individually.
Simply 5 (u + 1) - 7:
Expand the parenthesis:
5u + 5 - 7
Collect like terms:
5u - 2
<em>Simplify 3 (u - 1) + 2u:</em>
Expand the parenthesis:
3u - 3 + 2u
Collect like terms:
3u + 2u - 3
5u - 3
Bring both simplified equations together:
5u - 2 = 5u - 3
5u - 5u - 2 = -3
-2 = -3
Since -2 ≠ -3, there is no solution.
Therefore, we can say the equation is invalid.
