[tex]\dfrac{u}{8}=\dfrac{13}{17}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\17u=(8)(13)\\\\17u=104\qquad\text{divide both sides by 17}\\\\\boxed{u=\dfrac{104}{17}}[/tex]
Isolate the variable.Note that what you do to one side, you do to the other.
u/8 = 13/17
First, find common variables. Multiply 8/8 to both side, and 17/17 to both sides
u/8(8)(17) = 13/17(17)(8)
(17)u = (13)(8)
Simplify.
17u = 104
Isolate the u. Divide 17 from both sides
(17u)/17 = (104)/17
u = 104/17
104/17 is your answer for u, or ~6.12
