Answer:

Infinitely many solutions.

Explanation:

-t=9(t-10)-t=9(t-10)

-t=9t-90-t=9t-90

-t=8t-90=9t-90

8t-(-t)-90=9t-90

8t+t-90=9t-90

9t-90=9t-90

Answer:

If you mean −t=9(t−10), then the answer is 9, if you mean −t=9(t−10)−t=9(t−10) then infinite solutions.

Explanation:

Here is the answer if you mean −t=9(t−10):

−t = 9 (t−10)

Simplify the equation.

-t = (9)(t) + (9)(-10)

-t = 9t + -90 (Add the opposite)

-t = 9t - 90

Subtract -9t

-t -9t = 9t - 90 - 9t

-10t = - 90

Divide -10 on both sides to make sure the equation is balanced on both sides. And to isolate t to get the final answer.

-10t = -90

-10t = -10

Therefore,

t = 9

Is the final answer.

I Hope this helps! Have a great rest of your morning, afternoon, or evening! :D
