9-6%284u-1%29=u%2B15 Start with the given equation.


9-24u%2B6=u%2B15 Distribute.


-24u%2B15=u%2B15 Combine like terms on the left side.


-24u=u%2B15-15 Subtract 15 from both sides.


-24u-u=15-15 Subtract u from both sides.


-25u=15-15 Combine like terms on the left side.


-25u=0 Combine like terms on the right side.


u=%280%29%2F%28-25%29 Divide both sides by -25 to isolate u.


u=0 Reduce.
