Solve the following equation
3u+1=82
Solve for u
3u + 1 = 82
Divide each side by 3
| 3u | |
| 3 |
| = |
| 1 |
| 3 |
Group constants
Group our constants 1 and 82.
subtract 1 from both sides
3u + 1 - 1 = 82 - 1
Cancel 1 on the left side:
3u = 81
Divide each side of the equation by 3
| 3u | |
| 3 |
| = |
| 81 |
| 3 |
u = 27
Final Answer
u = 27
