It looks like there's a "u" term in your answer but none in the original problem. A typo?

please excuse me horrible writing, it's supposed to be a 4
 
OK, then I'm happy. I'm not sure about the do not simplify part, it looks pretty simple already!

A solution to this problem is by using Latex. It is really not that hard: write what you would expect and put it between double hashtags:

I promise we will be there to help you learn it if you struggle!

What part of this calculation were you not confident about? Why do you ask, instead of knowing you are correct?
