Q. Solve for u u and simplify your answer.\newline−17=−43u -17=-\frac{4}{3} u \newlineAnswer:
  1. Write Equation: Write down the equation.\newlineThe given equation is −17=−(43)u-17 = -\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)u.
  2. Eliminate Negative Sign: Eliminate the negative sign from both sides.\newlineTo do this, we can multiply both sides by −1-1, which will give us 17=(43)u17 = \left(\frac{4}{3}\right)u.
  3. Solve for u: Solve for u.\newlineTo isolate uu, we need to divide both sides of the equation by (4/3)(4/3). This is equivalent to multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of (4/3)(4/3), which is (3/4)(3/4).\newlineSo, u=17×(3/4)u = 17 \times (3/4).
  4. Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication to find the value of uu.u=17×(34)=(17×3)/4=514=12.75u = 17 \times \left(\frac{3}{4}\right) = \left(17 \times 3\right) / 4 = \frac{51}{4} = 12.75
