2(u-3)=u-1

Solution for 2(u-3)=u-1 equation:

Simplifying
2(u + -3) = u + -1

Reorder the terms:
2(-3 + u) = u + -1
(-3 * 2 + u * 2) = u + -1
(-6 + 2u) = u + -1

Reorder the terms:
-6 + 2u = -1 + u

Solving
-6 + 2u = -1 + u

Solving for variable 'u'.

Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1u' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 2u + -1u = -1 + u + -1u

Combine like terms: 2u + -1u = 1u
-6 + 1u = -1 + u + -1u

Combine like terms: u + -1u = 0
-6 + 1u = -1 + 0
-6 + 1u = -1

Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 6 + 1u = -1 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + 1u = -1 + 6
1u = -1 + 6

Combine like terms: -1 + 6 = 5
1u = 5

Divide each side by '1'.
u = 5

Simplifying
u = 5
