Question

Find the value of 9u-2 given that -7u-7=7 ?

Answer 1

Hey there!

-7u - 7 = 7

ADD 7 to BOTH SIDES

-7u - 7 + 7 = 7 + 7

CANCEL out: -7 + 7 because it give you 0

KEEPs 7 + 7 because it help solve for the u-value

NEW EQUATION: -7u = 7 + 7

SIMPLIFY IT!

-7u = 14

DIVIDE -7 to BOTH SIDES

-7u/-7 = 14/-7

CANCEL out: -7/-7 because it give you 0

KEEP: 14/-7 because it give you the

u-value

NEW EQUATION: u = 14/-7

SIMPLIFY IT!

u = -2

SOLVING FOR : 9u - 2

9u - 2

= 9(-2) - 2

= -18 - 2

= -20

Therefore, your answer is: -20

Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
