solve for u.\n11 = -7(-5u + 19) - 17u\nu =

Explanation:

Step1: Expand the brackets

$$11 = (-7)\times(-5u)+(-7)\times19 - 17u$$ $$11 = 35u-133 - 17u$$

Step2: Combine like - terms

Combine the (u) terms: (35u-17u = 18u). So the equation becomes (11=18u - 133).

Step3: Isolate the term with (u)

Add (133) to both sides of the equation: (11 + 133=18u-133 + 133). $$144 = 18u$$

Step4: Solve for (u)

Divide both sides by (18): (u=\frac{144}{18}).

Answer:

(u = 8)
