Question

What is the approximate solution to the equation 4t=68 ?

Answer 1

The correct answer is 3.0437.

Explanation:

I took the test and the answer is not 17.

Answer 2

Here we are given the equation :

`4t = 68`

In order to solve for t, we have to isolate t on the left side.

here t is in multiplication with 4, so we apply opposite operation of multiplication on both sides.

opposite operation of multiplication is division.

so dividing both sides by 4 we have:

`(4t)/(4) =(68)/(4)`

so we have t=17

Checking:

We can check if our answer is correct or not.

plugging value of t on left side of equation

LHS: 4t =4*17 =68

RHS:=68

since LHS=RHS

So our answer t=17 is correct .

Answer: t=17
