Answer 1

To solve the equation \( u + \frac{11}{3} = \frac{1}{3} \) using inverse operations, we need to isolate \( u \).

1. Subtract \( \frac{11}{3} \) from both sides of the equation:

\[
u + \frac{11}{3} - \frac{11}{3} = \frac{1}{3} - \frac{11}{3}
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
u = \frac{1}{3} - \frac{11}{3}
\]

2. Now, calculate the right side:

\[
\frac{1 - 11}{3} = \frac{-10}{3}
\]

Thus, we have:

\[
u = -\frac{10}{3}
\]

Now, let's look at the provided answer options:

A: \( 4 \)

B: \( 103\frac{10}{3} \)

C: \( -4 \)

D: \( -103-\frac{10}{3} \)

None of the options are correct because the solution is \( u = -\frac{10}{3} \). If you are expected to find a number that matches exactly with the answer choices, please confirm the provided options or explain any additional context.
