use the distributive property -6(4-t) = ((-6x4)-(-6•t)) -6x4 is - 24 so (-24-(-6•t)) then -(-6•t) is 6t (the negatives cancel eachother so -24+6t =121 then you add 24 so 6t= 145 then divide 145/6 to get t by itself so you get t=24.16 OR t= 145/6

Answer:

T=145/5

Explanation:
-24+6t=121
Move constant to the right

6t=121+24
Calculate

6t=121
Divide both sides

t=145/6
