5 (u + 1) -
7 = 3
3 (u - 1) + 2u

Correct Question:

5 (u + 1) - 7  = 3 (u - 1) + 2u.

Solve for u

See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

In this given question, we are required to find u.

Given the equation:

5 (u + 1) - 7 = 3 (u - 1) + 2u

Required:

Solve for u

To find u, first simplify both sides individually.

Simply 5 (u + 1) - 7:

Expand the parenthesis:

5u + 5 - 7

Collect like terms:

5u - 2

Simplify 3 (u - 1) + 2u:

Expand the parenthesis:

3u - 3 + 2u

Collect like terms:

3u + 2u - 3

5u - 3

Bring both simplified equations together:

5u - 2 = 5u - 3

5u - 5u - 2 = -3

-2 = -3

Since -2 ≠ -3, there is no solution.

Therefore, we can say the equation is invalid.

x = 3 ± √(5+y)
