\begin{gathered} 9r+8t=18 \\ r=f(t) \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} 9r+8t=18 \\ 9r=18-8t \\ r=2-(8)/(9)t \\ f(t)=2-(8)/(9)t \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} f(-9)=2-(8)/(9)*-9 \\ f(-9)=2+8=10 \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} f(t)=34 \\ 2-(8)/(9)t=34 \\ -(8)/(9)t=32 \\ \text{cross multiply} \\ -8t=288 \\ t=(288)/(-8) \\ t=-36 \end{gathered}
