The equation in the image is:

\[
-u + 97 = 198
\]

Let's solve for \( u \):

1. Subtract 97 from both sides to isolate the term with \( u \):
   \[
   -u = 198 - 97
   \]
   \[
   -u = 101
   \]

2. Multiply both sides by -1 to solve for \( u \):
   \[
   u = -101
   \]

Thus, \( u = -101 \).

3. What happens if the equation is \( -3u + 100 = 250 \)?
4. How would you solve \( -u + 97 = 0 \)?
5. Can you find \( u \) if \( -u + 50 = 150 \)?

**Tip:** Always isolate the variable first by undoing the addition or subtraction, then handle any negative signs or coefficients on the variable.
