QuestionSolve the equation: 4(u4)6=4(3u+3)4u4(u-4)-6=-4(-3 u+3)-4 u

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The given equation is 4(u4)6=4(3u+3)4u4(u-4)-6=-4(-3 u+3)-4 u . We are solving for the variable uu

STEP 2

First, we need to distribute the 44 on the left side of the equation and the 4-4 on the right side.
4u166=12u124u4u -16 -6 =12u -12 -4u

STEP 3

Next, we simplify both sides of the equation.
u22=8u12u -22 =8u -12

STEP 4

Now, we will isolate the variable uu on one side of the equation. Let's move 4u4u from the left side to the right side by subtracting 4u4u from both sides.
22=8u4u12-22 =8u -4u -12

STEP 5

implify the right side of the equation.
22=4u12-22 =4u -12

STEP 6

Next, we'll isolate uu by moving 12-12 from the right side to the left side by adding 1212 to both sides.
22+12=4u-22 +12 =4u

STEP 7

implify the left side of the equation.
10=4u-10 =4u

STEP 8

Finally, we'll solve for uu by dividing both sides of the equation by 44.
u=104u = \frac{-10}{4}

STEP 9

implify the right side of the equation to get the final solution.
u=2.5u = -2.5So, the solution to the equation 4(u4)6=4(3u+3)4u4(u-4)-6=-4(-3 u+3)-4 u is u=2.5u = -2.5.
