Given:
9( u + 2) = 63

Determine what is u.

Solution:

In order to determine the value of u, we simply need to distribute first to each value inside the parenthesis.

9( u + 2) = 63

9u + 18 = 63

Transpose 18 on the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.

9u = 63 - 18

9u = 45

Divide both sides by 9 in order to get the value of u.

9u/9 = 45/9

u = 5

Final answer:

u = 5
