\left(1us-uw\right)\left(w+2\right)=576
Use the distributive property to multiply u by 1s-w.
1usw+2us-uw^{2}-2uw=576
Use the distributive property to multiply 1us-uw by w+2.
1usw+2us-2uw=576+uw^{2}
Add uw^{2} to both sides.
1usw+2us=576+uw^{2}+2uw
Add 2uw to both sides.
suw+2su=uw^{2}+2uw+576
Reorder the terms.
\left(uw+2u\right)s=uw^{2}+2uw+576
Combine all terms containing s.
\frac{\left(uw+2u\right)s}{uw+2u}=\frac{uw^{2}+2uw+576}{uw+2u}
Divide both sides by uw+2u.
s=\frac{uw^{2}+2uw+576}{uw+2u}
Dividing by uw+2u undoes the multiplication by uw+2u.
s=\frac{uw^{2}+2uw+576}{u\left(w+2\right)}
Divide uw^{2}+2uw+576 by uw+2u.
\left(1us-uw\right)\left(w+2\right)=576
Use the distributive property to multiply u by 1s-w.
1usw+2us-uw^{2}-2uw=576
Use the distributive property to multiply 1us-uw by w+2.
suw+2su-uw^{2}-2uw=576
Reorder the terms.
\left(sw+2s-w^{2}-2w\right)u=576
Combine all terms containing u.
\frac{\left(sw+2s-w^{2}-2w\right)u}{sw+2s-w^{2}-2w}=\frac{576}{sw+2s-w^{2}-2w}
Divide both sides by ws-w^{2}+2s-2w.
u=\frac{576}{sw+2s-w^{2}-2w}
Dividing by ws-w^{2}+2s-2w undoes the multiplication by ws-w^{2}+2s-2w.
u=-\frac{576}{\left(w+2\right)\left(w-s\right)}
Divide 576 by ws-w^{2}+2s-2w.
