Question

Solve 4.3t+ 6.8 = 8.4t - 7.55 for t.

Answer 1

`t\text{ = 3.5}`

Here, given the equation, we want to solve for t

To do this, we need to have similar expressions on one side of the equation

What this mean is that terms that contain t will be on one side while terms without t will be on the other side

We need also understand that when we move terms over the equality sign, we will have a sign change

We proceed to solve the equation using the above explanations

Thus;

`\begin{gathered} 8.4t-4.3t\text{ = 6.8 + 7.55} \\ \\ 4.1t\text{ = 14.35} \\ \\ t\text{ = }(14.35)/(4.1) \\ \\ t\text{ = 3.5} \end{gathered}`
