Question

Given the equation 0 = 571 - 52t, which equation is solved for t?

A) t = 571 - 52
B) t = (571 - 52) / 0
C) t = 571 / 52
D) t = (571 - 52) / 52

Answer 1

The correct way to solve the equation 0 = 571 - 52t for t is to subtract 571 from both sides and then divide by -52, resulting in t = 571 / 52, which is answer C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation 0 = 571 - 52t can be rearranged to solve for the variable t. To isolate t, we want to move all other terms to the opposite side of the equal sign.

The correct rearrangement to solve for t is as follows:

1. Subtract 571 from both sides of the equation to get -571 = -52t.
2. Divide both sides by -52 to solve for t. This results in t = 571 / 52.

Therefore, the correct answer is C) t = 571 / 52.
