9-(4/5)(u-3)=1
Multiply the entire equation by 5 to be rid of the fraction
5%289%29+-+cross%285%29%284%2Fcross%285%29%29%28u-3%29+=+5%281%29
...
45 - 4(u-3) = 5
Distribute the 4
45 - 4u + 12 = 5
...
Isolate the u variable
45 + 12 - 5 = 4u
52 = 4u
...
Divide both sides by 4
u = 52%2F4+=+highlight_green%2813%29
