Question

solve for u.
2(4u - 5)=70
simplify your answer as much as possible.

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2(4u - 5)}{2}=\frac{70}{2}$
$4u-5 = 35$

Step2: Add 5 to both sides

$4u-5 + 5=35 + 5$
$4u=40$

Step3: Divide both sides by 4

$\frac{4u}{4}=\frac{40}{4}$
$u = 10$

Answer:

$u = 10$
