-10.3 = u/8 + 2.5

1 answer

To solve for u in the equation -10.3 = u/8 + 2.5, we need to isolate u on one side of the equation.

First, we can subtract 2.5 from both sides of the equation:

-10.3 - 2.5 = u/8

-12.8 = u/8

Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 8 to eliminate the fraction:

8 * -12.8 = 8 * (u/8)

-102.4 = u

Therefore, the value of u is -102.4.
