Question

What is the answer to 16-2t=5t+9

Answer 1

t=1

Explanation:

First, you transfer the t on the left over to the right by adding it to the 5, like so.

16=7t+9

Then, you subtract the 9 from the 16.

7=7t

Then divide the seven on the left by the seven on the right (seven on left over seven on right).

1=t

Answer 2

t=1

Explanation:

5t+2t=16-9

7t=7

so

t=1
