Multiply both sides by -4. Your problem now reads  u + 12 = -20 ----> u = -32 .  A note to you - remember to always try and get rid of numerators by multiplying (to get 1). Multiply on both sides of the equation - then figure the problem as usual!! Your math friend, Terry ( check your work by plugging in your value for u ) My e mail is : cats7051@yahoo.com </SPAN>\n" );
