$u = \frac{6}{15}$ $u = 6/15$

Explanation:

The first step would be to distribute:

$4 (u + 2) = - 2 (9 u - 7) + 7 u$ $4(u + 2) = -2(9u - 7) + 7u$
$4 u + 8 = - 18 u + 14 + 7 u$ $4u + 8 = -18u + 14 + 7u$

After you have distributed, you start simplifying the equation and solve it.

$4 u + 8 = - 18 u + 14 + 7 u$ $4u + 8 = -18u + 14 + 7u$
$4 u + 8 = - 11 u + 14$ $4u + 8 = -11u + 14$
$15 u = 6$ $15u = 6$
$u = \frac{6}{15}$ $u = 6/15$

So there you have it, $u = \frac{6}{15}$ $u = 6/15$ .
