The equation you've provided is \( 16a + 2ua = 1.2u + 1.6 \).
To solve for \( a \) in terms of \( u \), we can rearrange the equation as follows:
Start with the original equation: \[ 16a + 2ua = 1.2u + 1.6 \]
Factor \( a \) out on the left side: \[ a(16 + 2u) = 1.2u + 1.6 \]
Now, isolate \( a \): \[ a = \frac{1.2u + 1.6}{16 + 2u} \]
This gives us \( a \) in terms of \( u \). If you need anything else or further steps, let me know!
