Answer:

t = - 4

Explanation:

given the equation


(1)/(4) t + 4 =
(3)/(4) (t + 8) ← multiply through by 4 to clear the fractions

t + 16 = 3(t + 8) ← distribute parenthesis

t + 16 = 3t + 24 ( subtract 3t from both sides )

- 2t + 16 = 24 ( subtract 16 from both sides )

- 2t = 8 ( divide both sides by - 2 )


(-2)/(-2) t =
(8)/(-2) , that is

t = - 4
