Answer:

T=1

Explanation:

Isolate t on one side of the equation.

16-2t=t+9+4t

16-2t=t+4t+9 (Combined like terms & group like terms.)

t+4t=5t (Solve.)

16-2t=5t+9

16-2t-16=5t+9-16 (Subtract 16 from both sides.)

9-16 (Solve.)

16-9=7

-2t=5t-7

-2t-5t=5t-7-5t (Subtract 5t from both sides.)

-2t-5t (Solve.)

-2t-5t=-7t

-7t=-7

-7t/-7=-7/-7 (Then, divide by -7 from both sides.)

-7/-7 (Solve.)

-7/-7=1

t=1

So, the final answer is t=1.
