Solve -4(u+3)-3u=2(u+3)

$$- 4 ( u + 3 ) - 3 u = 2 ( u + 3 )$$

Solve for u

$$u=-2$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply -4 by u+3.

$$-4u-12-3u=2\left(u+3\right)$$

Combine -4u and -3u to get -7u.

$$-7u-12=2\left(u+3\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by u+3.

$$-7u-12=2u+6$$

Subtract 2u from both sides.

$$-7u-12-2u=6$$

Combine -7u and -2u to get -9u.

$$-9u-12=6$$

Add 12 to both sides.

$$-9u=6+12$$

Add 6 and 12 to get 18.

$$-9u=18$$

Divide both sides by -9.

$$u=\frac{18}{-9}$$

Divide 18 by -9 to get -2.

$$u=-2$$
