Answer:

u = 5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

to evaluate for the value of u we would simply open the bracket and then evaluate for the value of u by collecting the like terms together.

solution

3=7(4 - 2u)-6u

3 = 28- 14u - 6u

collect the like terms

3 + 14u + 6u = 28

20u = 28 - 3

20u = 25

divide both sides by the coefficient of u which is 20

20u/20 = 25/20

u = 5/4

Answer:

[tex]u = 5/4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Distribute on the right side

[tex]3 = 7(4 - 2u) - 6u[/tex]

[tex]3 = (7 * 4) + (7 * -2u) - 6u[/tex]

[tex]3 = 28 - 14u - 6u[/tex]

Step 2:  Combine like terms

[tex]3 = 28 + (-14u - 6u)[/tex]

[tex]3 = 28 + -20u[/tex]

Step 3:  Subtract 28 from both sides

[tex]3 - 28 = 28 - 20u - 28[/tex]

[tex]-25 = -20u[/tex]

Step 4:  Divide both sides by -20

[tex]-25 / -20 = -20u / -20[/tex]

[tex]5/4 = u[/tex]

Answer:  [tex]u = 5/4[/tex]
