Solve u*8%-78=2

$$u \times 8 \% - 78 = 2$$

Solve for u

$$u=1000$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{8}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$u\times \frac{2}{25}-78=2$$

Add 78 to both sides.

$$u\times \frac{2}{25}=2+78$$

Add 2 and 78 to get 80.

$$u\times \frac{2}{25}=80$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{25}{2}, the reciprocal of \frac{2}{25}.

$$u=80\times \frac{25}{2}$$

Express 80\times \frac{25}{2} as a single fraction.

$$u=\frac{80\times 25}{2}$$

Multiply 80 and 25 to get 2000.

$$u=\frac{2000}{2}$$

Divide 2000 by 2 to get 1000.

$$u=1000$$
