Answer

Doing these steps, we find that the solution to the equation is 17.

Steps

Step 1 :The equation is in the form of ax = b, where a is the coefficient of the variable, x is the variable and b is the constant. In this case, a = 4, x = u - 20 and b = -12.

Step 2 :To solve for u, we need to isolate u on one side of the equation. We can do this by first dividing both sides of the equation by 4 to get rid of the coefficient of u.

Step 3 :Then, we add 20 to both sides to isolate u.

Step 4 :Doing these steps, we find that the solution to the equation is 17.
