Answer:
t= -0.18
Explanation:
Isolate t to get the unknown number:
(-4.5t)(49.5t) = 40
Multiply (-4.5t)(49.5t):
(-4.5t)(49.5t) = -222.75t
Now, write full equation:
-222.75t = 40
Isolate t by dividing -222.75 on both sides:
![(-222.75)/(-222.75)t=(40)/(-222.75)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/nowk9qnc63igg4av88m04zb3u9rg7rdvr6.png)
Cancel out left hand side:
