6(u-1)=6u+6-2(-8u-1)

Solution for 6(u-1)=6u+6-2(-8u-1) equation:

Simplifying
6(u + -1) = 6u + 6 + -2(-8u + -1)

Reorder the terms:
6(-1 + u) = 6u + 6 + -2(-8u + -1)
(-1 * 6 + u * 6) = 6u + 6 + -2(-8u + -1)
(-6 + 6u) = 6u + 6 + -2(-8u + -1)

Reorder the terms:
-6 + 6u = 6u + 6 + -2(-1 + -8u)
-6 + 6u = 6u + 6 + (-1 * -2 + -8u * -2)
-6 + 6u = 6u + 6 + (2 + 16u)

Reorder the terms:
-6 + 6u = 6 + 2 + 6u + 16u

Combine like terms: 6 + 2 = 8
-6 + 6u = 8 + 6u + 16u

Combine like terms: 6u + 16u = 22u
-6 + 6u = 8 + 22u

Solving
-6 + 6u = 8 + 22u

Solving for variable 'u'.

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

Add '-22u' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 6u + -22u = 8 + 22u + -22u

Combine like terms: 6u + -22u = -16u
-6 + -16u = 8 + 22u + -22u

Combine like terms: 22u + -22u = 0
-6 + -16u = 8 + 0
-6 + -16u = 8

Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 6 + -16u = 8 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + -16u = 8 + 6
-16u = 8 + 6

Combine like terms: 8 + 6 = 14
-16u = 14

Divide each side by '-16'.
u = -0.875

Simplifying
u = -0.875
