Solving for variable 'u'.

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

Add '-6u' to each side of the equation.
-72 + 4u + -6u = -6 + 6u + -6u

Combine like terms: 4u + -6u = -2u
-72 + -2u = -6 + 6u + -6u

Combine like terms: 6u + -6u = 0
-72 + -2u = -6 + 0
-72 + -2u = -6

Add '72' to each side of the equation.
-72 + 72 + -2u = -6 + 72

Combine like terms: -72 + 72 = 0
0 + -2u = -6 + 72
-2u = -6 + 72

Combine like terms: -6 + 72 = 66
-2u = 66

Divide each side by '-2'.
u = -33

Simplifying
u = -33
