Question

What is equivalent to -1/3t=4/3​

Answer 1

The equivalent of -1/3t = 4/3​ is t = -4

Solution:

Need to determine such value of t so that when it is multiplied by -1/3, we should get 4/3

That is we need to solve following expression for value of t.

`-(1)/(3) t=(4)/(3)`

On multiplying both the sides by 3 we get

`\begin{array}{l}{-(1)/(3) t * 3=(4)/(3) * 3} \\\\ {=>-t=4}\end{array}`

Now multiplying both the sides by -1 we get

`\begin{array}{l}{-t *-1=4 *-1} \\ {=>t=-4}\end{array}`

Let’s recheck the value of t

`-(1)/(3) t=-(1)/(3) *-4=(4)/(3)`

Hence for t = -4, expression -1/3 t is equal to 4/3.
