Answer: [tex]u=\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation [tex]\frac{3}{2}=\frac{u+5}{5}[/tex], you need to:
Apply the Multiplication property of equality and multiply both sides of the equation by 5:
[tex](5)(\frac{3}{2})=(\frac{u+5}{5})(5)\\\\\frac{15}{2}=u+5[/tex]
Now, applying the Subtraction property of equality, you need to subtract 5 to both sides of the equation. Then you get:
[tex]\frac{15}{2}-5=u+5-5\\u=\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
