SOLVE THE FOLLOWING EQUATION FOR U
4U + 8 = -12
could you please show the work
4U + 8 = -12
First -- subtract 8 from both sides of the equation.
4U + 8 - 8 = -12 - 8
4U = -20
Then divide both sides of the equation by 4.
U = -5
Thank you Ms Sue
To solve the equation 4U + 8 = -12, we need to isolate the variable U on one side of the equation. Here's the step-by-step process:
1. Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation:
4U + 8 - 8 = -12 - 8
4U = -20
2. Divide both sides of the equation by 4 to solve for U:
(4U) / 4 = (-20) / 4
U = -5
Therefore, the solution to the equation is U = -5.
