#color(purple)(u=4#

Explanation:

#6/(u-3)-4/(u-3)=2#

multiply R.H.S. and L.H.S. by #color(purple)(u-3#

#:.6-4=2(u-3)#

#:.2(u-3)=2#

#:.2u-6=2#

#:.2u=6+2#

#:.2u=8#

#:.u=8/2#

#:.color(purple)(u=4#

substitute #color(purple)(u=4#

#:.6/((color(purple)4)-3)-4/((color(purple)4)-3)=2#

#:.6/1-4/1=2#

#:.6-4=2#
