Question

Solve the equation and check the answer

$\frac{u}{-2}=-14$

Short answer

The solution is $u=28$.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1  . Apply the concept of linear equation

In this, simply use the concept of solving the linear equation by doing various mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication or division.

Step -2 – Find the solution for u.

Here, the equation is $\frac{u}{-2}=-14$.

Simply multiply both side by -2

$\begin{array}{l}\frac{u}{-2}=-14\\ \frac{u}{-2}\times -2=-14\times -2\\ u=28\end{array}$

Step -3 – Check the solution

The equation is $\frac{u}{-2}=-14$.

Put $u=28$ by taking Left Hand Side,

$\begin{array}{l}LeftHandSide:\\ =\frac{u}{-2}\\ =\frac{28}{-2}\\ =-14\\ =RightHandSide\end{array}$

The solution is correct.
