You can put this solution on YOUR website!
u sub zero =16
u sub n=(1-0.005)u sub n-1+16
where n > or = to 1
-----
x%280%29=+16
-----
x%28n%29+=+%281-.005%29%2Ax%28n-1%29+%2B+16
-----
when n = 1, this becomes:
x%281%29+=+%281-.005%29%2Ax%280%29+%2B+16
since x%280%29+=+16 this becomes:
x%281%29+=+%281-.005%29%2A16+%2B+16
this becomes:
x%281%29+=+.995%2A16+%2B+16
which becomes:
x%281%29+=+15.92+%2B+16 which becomes:
x%281%29+=+31.92

this assumes i interpreted your equation correctly.
