Question

complete the process of solving the equation. fill in the missing term and select the missing description. simplify any fractions. 9(u + 1) = 18 u + 1 = 2 u = \boxed{} add 9 to both sides subtract 9 from both sides multiply both sides by 9 divide both sides by 9 combine like terms

Explanation:

Step1: Identify first operation

To get from $9(u + 1) = 18$ to $u + 1 = 2$, we divide both sides by 9:
$\frac{9(u+1)}{9} = \frac{18}{9}$

Step2: Solve for $u$

Subtract 1 from both sides of $u + 1 = 2$:
$u + 1 - 1 = 2 - 1$

Answer:

Missing description (for first step): Divide both sides by 9
Missing term: $u = 1$
