To solve for u, we have the equation:

8u + 75 = 2(9u - 29)

Using the distributive property on the right side, we have:

8u + 75 = 18u - 58

Next, we can subtract 8u from both sides to isolate the variable:

75 = 10u - 58

Then, we add 58 to both sides to further isolate the variable:

133 = 10u

Finally, we divide both sides by 10 to solve for u:

u = 133/10

Therefore, the simplified solution for u is u = 13.3
