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
