Question

I am confused. My math question is: -59 = -u/9.
Simplify your answer as much as possible.

Answer 1

Step 1: Multiply both sides by 9. (This will cancel out the denominator in -u/9.)

-59 × 9 = -531
and $\frac{-u}{9}$ × 9 = -u

Step 2: Whenever both sides of an algebraic equation are negative, you can remove the negative signs and re-write the equation:

Final Answer: u = 531
