Solve for t
Please give an exposition

Answer 1

Answer: t= -8

Explanation:

• 3t-8+7t=34+9t-2
• -3t+7t-8=9t+32-2
• 4t-8=9t+32
• t= -8

Answer 2

t = -8

Explanation:

combine like terms, so -3t + 7t = 4t and 34 - 2 = 32

so 4t - 8 = 32 + 9t

then subtract 4t from both sides and subtract 32 from both sides. You will get: -40 = 5t.

Then divide both sides by 5 so you will get -8 = t
