Q. Solve for u. 20u2−43u=0Write each solution as an integer, proper fraction, or improper fraction in simplest form. If there are multiple solutions, separate them with commas. u=__
Factor GCF: Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from the equation 20u2−43u=0. The GCF of 20u2 and 43u is u. Factor out u from each term. u(20u−43)=0
Set u=0: Set each factor equal to zero and solve for u.First, set u equal to zero:u=0This is one solution.
Solve for u=2043: Now set the other factor equal to zero and solve for u:20u−43=0Add 43 to both sides to isolate the term with u:20u=43Divide both sides by 20 to solve for u:u=2043This is the second solution.
