Solve for u

10 - 6u = - 8u + 2

u = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we need to isolate the variable: u

10-6u = - 8u+2

Add 8u to both sides

10-6u+8u=-8u+8u+2

10+2u=2

Subtract 10 from both sides

10-10+2u=2-10

2u=-8

Divide both sides by 2

2u/2 = - 8/2

u = - 4

u=3

Step-by-step explanation:

10 - 6u = - 8u + 2

+6u + 6u

10 = - 2u + 2

-2 - 2

6 = 2u

u=3
