To solve for $$ u $$ in the equation:

$$
\frac{3}{4} = \frac{u + 7}{16}
$$

**Step 1:** Cross-multiply to eliminate the fractions.

$$
3 \times 16 = 4 \times (u + 7)
$$

$$
48 = 4u + 28
$$

**Step 2:** Subtract 28 from both sides to isolate the term with $$ u $$.

$$
48 - 28 = 4u
$$

$$
20 = 4u
$$

**Step 3:** Divide both sides by 4 to solve for $$ u $$.

$$
u = \frac{20}{4}
$$

$$
u = 5
$$

**Final Answer:**

$$
u = 5
$$
$$ u = 5 $$

Solve for \( u \). \[ \frac{3}{4}=\frac{u+7}{16} \] Simplify your answer as much as possible. \( u=\square \)
