Answer:

t=1

Explanation:

step one : rearrange terms

16−2=5+9

−2+16=5+9

step two: subtract 16 from both sides of the equation

−2+16=5+9

−2+16−16=5+9−16

step three: simplify

−2=5−7

step four:Subtract 5t from both sides of the equation

−2=5−7

−2−5=5−7−5

step five: combine like terms

−7=−7

step six: divide

−7 /−7 =−7/−7
