plot the solution of the equation on the number line.\n\n$4u + 5 = -19$

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 5 from both sides

$$4u + 5 - 5 = -19 - 5$$ $$4u = -24$$

Step2: Divide both sides by 4

$$\frac{4u}{4} = \frac{-24}{4}$$ $$u = -6$$

Step3: Identify the point on the number line

Locate the value $-6$ on the provided number line. It is one unit to the left of $-5$.

Answer:

The solution is $u = -6$. To plot this, place a solid dot at the position $-6$ on the number line.
