Solve for u .

Question

26 = 6 + 4u
Simplify your answer as much as possible.
u = ?

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 26 = 6 + 4u \), follow these steps:

1. Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation: \[ 26 - 6 = 4u \] \[ 20 = 4u \]

2. Now, divide both sides by 4 to solve for \( u \): \[ u = \frac{20}{4} \] \[ u = 5 \]

So, the solution is: \[ u = 5 \]
