Question 795: I need help on a proprtion,
2u-3/4u=u-1/u I did cross product method on this one and i got
2u(squared)-3u= 4u (squared)-4u then i isolated the u and the u (squared) and came out with u=2u(squared). I think i did this all right, but i'm not sure what the u would be. I missed this lesson in math becuase i'm on homebound school because of an illness i have. If you can please help me out i would appreciate it. Thank You.

2u-3/4u=u-1/u
2u-u = 1/u+3/4u
u= 7/4u
u^2 = 7/4
u= Sqrt(7/4) = 1.32
