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!
