1 /2 (u -5) = 2u + 5 can anyone solve this? btw the 1/2 is a fraction so like one half, for anyone confused.

1. Answer: -5

   Step-by-step explanation:

   1/2 (u-5) = 2u+5

   take 1/2 on other side

   u-5 = 2 x (2u+5) = 4u+10

   take variable term on one side and constant on the other

   -5-10 = 4u-u = 3u

   3u = -15

   u = -5
