Question 176425
Note: {{{5&1/6=31/6}}} and {{{2&3/4=11/4}}}



So the equation also looks like: {{{31/6-u=11/4}}}



{{{31/6-u=11/4}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{12(31/cross(6)-u)=12(11/cross(4))}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{12}}} to clear any fractions.



{{{62-12u=33}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{-12u=33-62}}} Subtract {{{62}}} from both sides.



{{{-12u=-29}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{u=(-29)/(-12)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-12}}} to isolate {{{u}}}.



{{{u=29/12}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the answer is {{{u=29/12}}} which approximates to {{{u=2.417}}}.
