Question

`- 2(2t + 3) = - 4 - 3(t + 4)`

Answer 1

Distribute the -2 on the left and the -3 on the right:


`-4t-6=-4-3t-12`

Clean up the right side by combining the constants:


`-4t-6=-16-3t`

Add 4t to both sides to eliminate -4t on the left:


`-6=-16+t`

Finally, add 16 to both sides to isolate the t on the right:


`10=t`

That's the solution:
`t=10`

Hope this helps.
