Statement Problem: What is the answer to;


14-6t=t

Solution:

Add 6t to both sides of the equation;


\begin{gathered} 14-6t+6t=t+6t \\ 14=7t \end{gathered}

Divide both sides by 7;


\begin{gathered} (14)/(7)=(7t)/(7) \\ t=2 \end{gathered}

14-6t=t

Simplify the equation:


14+-6t=t


-6t+14=t

Subtract t from both sides:


-6t+14-t=t-t


-7t+14=0

Subtract 14 from both sides:


-7t+14-14=0-14


-7t=-14

Divide both sides by -7:


(-7t)/(-7) =(-14)/(-7)


\fbox{t=2}

Hope this helps!
