Question

What is the answer to (t+8)(-2)=12

Answer 1

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
(t+8)(−2)=12
Simplify: (t)(−2)+(8)(−2)=12
(Distribute)−2t+−16=12−2t−16=12
Step 2: Add 16 to both sides.−2t−16+16=12+16−2t=28
Step 3: Divide both sides by -2.−2t/−2=28/−2
t=−14

Answer 2

(t + 8) (-2) = 12

Distributive property >>> -2t + -16 = 12

Inverse operation >>>> -2t + -16+16 = 12+16

Simplify >>>> -2t = 28

Divide >>>> -2t/-2 = 28/-2

Final answer >>>> t = -14
