You have the following equation:


11+(1)/(3)t=1+(1)/(4)t

In order to solve the previous equation for t, you proceed as follow:

11+(1/3)t = 1+(1/4)t multiply both sides by 12 (to eliminate denominators)

132 + 4t = 12 + 3t subtract 3t both sides, and subtract 132 both sides

4t - 3t = 12 - 132 simplify

t = -120

Hence, the solution to the given equation is t = -120
