Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                     15-(-15-8*u)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Pulling out like terms :

 1.1     Pull out like factors :

   30 + 8u  =   2 • (4u + 15) 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

Equations which are never true :

 2.1      Solve :    2   =  0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 2.2      Solve  :    4u+15 = 0 

 Subtract  15  from both sides of the equation : 
                      4u = -15
Divide both sides of the equation by 4:
                     u = -15/4 = -3.750
