Answer:
\large\boxed{\text{No Solution}}

Explanation:

Given equation


√(t+1)+9=7

Subtract 9 on both sides


√(t+1)+9-9=7-9


√(t+1)=-2

Conclusion


\text{Since radical values are always positive, it is false that }√(t+1)\text{ will equal to -2}


\text{Therefore, it is }{\large\boxed{\text{No Solution}}}\text{ in the context of real numbers}

Hope this helps!! :)
