Collect "like terms" on the same side of the equation
You do this by adding or subtracting the same term on each side of the equation
27+u=3-3u
Add 3u to both sides of the equation
27+u+3u=3-3u+3u
We now have
27+4u=3
Subtract 27 from both sides of the equation
27+4y-27=3-27
Do the arithmetic
4u=-24
Solve for u by dividing each side of the equation by 4
So u=-6
I hope that this helps
