5(u − 77) = 95

u =

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 5(u - 77) = 95 \), follow these steps:

  1. Divide both sides by 5 to isolate the expression in the parentheses: \[ u - 77 = \frac{95}{5} \] \[ u - 77 = 19 \]

  2. Add 77 to both sides to solve for \( u \): \[ u = 19 + 77 \] \[ u = 96 \]

So, the solution is: \[ u = 96 \]
