Question

Fill in the blanks to make the statement true

2t - t +4= 0
Solving this equation will result in a [quadratic/linear]
equation that
[Can/cannot]
be solved by factoring.​

Answer 1

`2t-t+4=0` gives me
`t=-4`

This is a linear equation.

Did you really mean
`2t-t+4=0`? I just want to make sure since you said something about a quadratic in your question.

Explanation:

`2t-t+4=0` can be simplified to
`t+4=0`.

This is a linear equation since the exponent on all the variables we have is 1.

To solve
`t+4=0` for t we are going to subtract 4 on both sides:

`t+4-4=0-4`

`t=-4`
