Solve for u.

18=4u-14

Simplify your answer as much as possible.

18=4u-14

Add 14 to both sides.
32 = 4u
Divide both sides by 4.

To solve for u, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. Let's start by adding 14 to both sides of the equation:

18 + 14 = 4u - 14 + 14

This simplifies to:

32 = 4u

Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by 4 to solve for u:

u = 32 / 4

Simplifying further:

u = 8

Therefore, the solution to the equation 18 = 4u - 14 is u = 8.
