Answer:
2.294117647
Step-by-step explanation:
3/17 = u/13
Cross multiply:
3 * 13 = 17 * u
Simplifying
3 * 13 = 17 * u
Multiply 3 * 13
39 = 17 * u
Solving
39 = 17u
Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-17u' to each side of the equation.
39 + -17u = 17u + -17u
Combine like terms: 17u + -17u = 0
39 + -17u = 0
Add '-39' to each side of the equation.
39 + -39 + -17u = 0 + -39
Combine like terms: 39 + -39 = 0
0 + -17u = 0 + -39
-17u = 0 + -39
Combine like terms: 0 + -39 = -39
-17u = -39
Divide each side by '-17'.
u = 2
Simplifying
u = 2.294117647
