Question

Solve for u:
5u = u+16 Simplify your answer as much as possible.

Answer 1

`u=4`

Explanation:

To solve for the variable
`u` in the given equation:

`5u=u+16`

First, we can subtract
`u` from both sides.

`5u \: = u + 16 \\ \underline{-u} \ \ \ \underline{-u\ \ \ \ \ }`

`4u = 16`

Then, we can divide both sides by
`4`.

`\underline{4u} = \underline{16} \\ \text{ } 4 \ \ \ \ \ \: 4`

`\boxed{u=4}`
