To solve equations like this we need to get one side equal to zero and then factor. Subtracting the two terms on the right from each side we get:

Now we factor. Always start factoring with the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) unless it is 1. The GCF here is u so we'll factor it out:

Next we factor the trinomial:

From the Zero Product Property we know that this product is zero only if one of the factors is zero. So:
or or
Solving the these we get:
or or
