16 - 2t = t + 9 + 4t. Combine like terms by adding t to 4t, by adding 2t to both sides and by subtracting 9 from both sides.
7 = 7t. Divide each side by 7.
1 = t.
Answer:
t=1
Explanation:
16-2t = t + 9 + 4t
Combine like terms
16-2t = 9 + 5t
Add 2t to each side
16 -2t+2t = 9+5t+2t
16 = 9+7t
Subtract 9 from each side
16-9 = 9-9 +7t
7=7t
Divide each side by 7
7/7 = 7t/7
1 =t
