Answer:
u = -5/9
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
-3(u + 2) = 5u - 1 + 5(2u + 1)
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>u</u></em>
- Distribute: -3u - 6 = 5u - 1 + 10u + 5
- Combine like terms: -3u - 6 = 15u + 4
- Add 3u to both sides: -6 = 18u + 4
- Subtract 4 on both sides: -10 = 18u
- Divide 18 on both sides: -10/18 = u
- Simplify: -5/9 = u
- Rewrite: u = -5/9
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in u into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>u</em>: -3(-5/9 + 2) = 5(-5/9) - 1 + 5(2(-5/9) + 1)
- Multiply: -3(-5/9 + 2) = -25/9 - 1 + 5(-10/9 + 1)
- Add: -3(13/9) = -25/9 - 1 + 5(-1/9)
- Multiply: -13/3 = -25/9 - 1 - 5/9
- Subtract: -13/3 = -34/9 - 5/9
- Subtract: -13/3 = -13/3
Here we see that -13/3 does indeed equal -13/3.
∴ u = -5/9 is a solution of the equation.

Given:
Last year 80 students signed up for a summer trip to Washington, D.C.
This summer 50 students have signed up to go.
To find:
The percent decrease in the number of students.
Solution:
We have,
Students in last year = 80
Students in this year = 50
Now,





Therefore, the correct option is B.
This will only have one solution because it does not deal with a quadratic. Then to isolate x you need to get the similar terms on different sides by subtracting or adding, Then divide both sides by the number next to x (coefficient).
