In the equation


0.07(6t-4)=0.42(t-1)+0.14

to solve for t, we first expand both sides of the equation.


0.42t-0.28=0.42t-0.42+0.14

We subtract 0.42t from both sides to get


-0.28=0.42+0.14

The right side does not equal the left side of the equation; therefore, this equation has no solution and choice C is correct.
