Solve for u.

-3 (-6u+5) - 7u = 3 (u-4) - 1

Simplify your answer as much as possible.

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 18u-15-7u=3u-12-1

2. 11u-15=3u-12-1 (Simplify 18u-15-7u18u-15-7u to 11u-1511u-15)

3. 11u-15=3u-13 (Simplify 3u-12-13u-12-1 to 3u-133u-13)

4. 11u=3u-13+15 (Add 1515 to both sides)

5. 11u=3u+2 (Simplify 3u-13+153u-13+15 to 3u+23u+2)

6. 11u-3u=2 (Subtract 3u3u from both sides)

7. 8u=2 (Simplify 11u-3u11u-3u to 8u)

8. u = 2/8 (Divide both sides by 8)

9. u=1/4 (Simplify 2/8 to 1/4)
