Full solution

Q. Solve for uu.\newline8u7u+2=178u - 7u + 2 = 17\newlineu=u = ____
  1. Combine like terms: Combine like terms on the left side of the equation.\newline8u7u+2=178u - 7u + 2 = 17\newline(87)u+2=17(8 - 7)u + 2 = 17\newline1u+2=171u + 2 = 17
  2. Subtract to isolate variable: Subtract 22 from both sides to isolate the variable term.\newline1u+22=1721u + 2 - 2 = 17 - 2\newlineu=15u = 15
