Solution for 5(2-u)-u=2(u-1) equation:


Simplifying
5(2 + -1u) + -1u = 2(u + -1)
(2 * 5 + -1u * 5) + -1u = 2(u + -1)
(10 + -5u) + -1u = 2(u + -1)

Combine like terms: -5u + -1u = -6u
10 + -6u = 2(u + -1)

10 + -6u = 2(-1 + u)
10 + -6u = (-1 * 2 + u * 2)
10 + -6u = (-2 + 2u)

Solving
10 + -6u = -2 + 2u

Solving for variable 'u'.

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

Add '-2u' to each side of the equation.
10 + -6u + -2u = -2 + 2u + -2u

Combine like terms: -6u + -2u = -8u
10 + -8u = -2 + 2u + -2u

Combine like terms: 2u + -2u = 0
10 + -8u = -2 + 0
10 + -8u = -2

Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -10 + -8u = -2 + -10

Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + -8u = -2 + -10
-8u = -2 + -10
