How do you solve for u in 8u=3u+35? Algebra Linear Equations Two-Step Equations and Properties of Equality 1 Answer Dominic B. ยท Stefan V. Apr 23, 2018 u=7 Explanation: 8u= 3u + 35 Subtract 3u from both sides 8u-3u=5u and 3u-3u= 0 (0u) So 5u= 35 Divide both sides by 5 (5u)/5 = u \ "as" \ 5/5=1 and 35/5=7 So u= 7 Answer link Related questions How do you solve two step equations?
