Question

Can someone please help me? 3t + 7 = -8

Answer 1

Answer: t= -1/3

Explanation:

3t+7=-8

subtract 7 from 7 and 8 (this cancels out the 7)

left with 3t = -1

divide 3 into 3t and -1

the 3 in 3t is canceled out, leaving us with t, therefore t= -1/3

Answer 2

Explanation:

Look at 3%2At%2B7=%28+-8+%29.

Moved these terms to the left %28 +8+ %29

It becomes 3%2At%2B7%2B _green%28+8+%29=0.

Look at 3%2At%2B_red%28+7+%29%2_red%28+8+%29=0.

Added fractions or integers together

It becomes 3%2At% 2B % 28+15+%29=0.

Look at highlight_red%28+3%2At%2B15+%29=0.

Solved linear equation %28+3%2At%2B15=0+%29 equivalent to 3*t+15 =0

It becomes highlight_green%28+0+%29=0.

Result: 0=0

This is an equation! Solutions: t=-5.
