Question

2(2t+4)=34(24−8t)

solve for t

Answer 1

2(2t + 4) = 34(24 − 8t)
4t + 8 = 816 - 272t
4t + 272t = 816 - 8
276t = 808
t = 808/276
= 2.93 (to three significant figures)

The value of t is 2.93.

Answer 2

`t=(202)/(69)`

Explanation:

`2(2t+4)=34(24-8t)`

Solve the equation for t

Distribute the number inside the parenthesis

`2(2t+4)=34(24-8t)`

`4t+8=816-272t`

Add 272t on both sides

`276t+8=816`

Subtract 8 on both sides

`276t=808`

Divide both sides by 276

`t=(202)/(69)`
