Solve for U.
5u +6 - 12u = -29
Simplify your answer as much as possible.
To solve for U, we need to simplify the equation and isolate U on one side.
Starting with the given equation:
5u + 6 - 12u = -29
First, let's combine like terms by adding the u's and constants on the left side:
-7u + 6 = -29
Now, let's isolate the u variable. To do so, we will subtract 6 from both sides:
-7u + 6 - 6 = -29 - 6
This simplifies to:
-7u = -35
Finally, to solve for u, we need to divide both sides of the equation by -7:
-7u / -7 = -35 / -7
This simplifies to:
u = 5
So the solution for u is u = 5.

Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct it.
Starting with the given equation:
5u + 6 - 12u = -29
First, let's combine like terms by subtracting 12u from 5u:
-7u + 6 = -29
Next, let's isolate the u variable by subtracting 6 from both sides:
-7u + 6 - 6 = -29 - 6
This simplifies to:
-7u = -35
Now, to solve for u, we need to divide both sides of the equation by -7:
-7u / -7 = -35 / -7
This simplifies to:
u = 5
So the solution for u is u = 5.
