1. Start with the given equation:
   $$
   -7 = -2 + 5u
   $$

2. Add $$ 2 $$ to both sides to isolate the term with $$ u $$:
   $$
   -7 + 2 = -2 + 2 + 5u \quad \Longrightarrow \quad -5 = 5u
   $$

3. Divide both sides by $$ 5 $$ to solve for $$ u $$:
   $$
   u = \frac{-5}{5} = -1
   $$

$$ u = -1 $$
$$ u = -1 $$
