Q. Solve for u. 48u2−7u=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 of terms: Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms in the equation 48u2−7u=0. The GCF of 48u2 and 7u is u. Factor out the GCF from each term. u(48u−7)=0
Set and solve for u: Set each factor equal to zero and solve for u.First, set u equal to zero:u=0This is one solution.Next, set the other factor equal to zero:48u−7=0
Solve 48u−7=0: Solve the equation 48u−7=0 for u. Add 7 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with u. 48u=7 Now, divide both sides by 48 to solve for u. u=487 This is the second solution.
