If you expand this equation first
You get -4u+6+3u=3u+24

And if you simplify that you get:
-u+6=3u+24
Now you need to solve this equation to find u

First bring 3u to the other side to -u-3u (the positive changes to negative)
Now the equation is
-4u+6= 24
Take 6 of both sides
-4u=24-6= 18
-4u= 18
So u= -18/4
Which simplifies to -9/2

Answer: -9/2

A store sells grass seed in small bags and large bags. The small bags have 7 pounds of seed for $27.93 and the large bags have 2

Arada [10]

Answer:

The 20 pound bag is a better by for only $66.98

Step-by-step explanation:

The large bag is better because the small bag is $27.93 for 7 pounds 7x3=21,so 3x27.93=83.79 is $16.81 more than the cost for the large bag

hope this makes sense;)
