Before we can do anything we want to change $-1/3$ into a value that matches the denominator of the other fraction $-5/6$ . We can write $-1/3$ as $-2/6$ because they both equal the same value but it is easier to now find what u equals.

Adding $5/6$ to both sides gives us:

$-2/6 + 5/6 = u$ (Because the denominator is the same we just add the numerators/ top numbers)

$(-2 + 5)/6 = u$ which gives $3/6 = u$ .

We can simplify $3/6$ to $1/2$ so:

$u = 1/2$

Hope this helps!
