To solve for u, we can begin by adding 3/15 to both sides of the equation:
u - 3/15 + 3/15 = 2/5 + 3/15
Simplifying the left side, we have:
u = 2/5 + 1/5
Combining like terms on the right side, we get:
u = 3/5
So the solution for u is u = 3/5.
Solve for u.
u-3/15 = 2/5
Simplify your answer as much as possible.

Apparently u = 9
If u = 9, then let's check if it satisfies the equation:
u - 3/15 = 2/5
9 - 3/15 = 2/5
Multiplying both sides by 15 to eliminate the fraction:
135 - 3 = 6
132 = 6
This is not a true statement, which means that u = 9 is not a solution to the equation.
Therefore, the correct solution for u is u = 3/5.
u - 3/15 = 2/5
9 - 3/15 = 2/5
Multiplying both sides by 15 to eliminate the fraction:
135 - 3 = 6
132 = 6
This is not a true statement, which means that u = 9 is not a solution to the equation.
Therefore, the correct solution for u is u = 3/5.
