Answer: The inequality t < 6 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

5t - 3 (7t + 1) < 93​ <--- This is the original equation.

5t + (7t + 1) - 3 < 93​ <---- Use commutative property.

16t - 3 < 93 <--- Simplify

16t - 3 + 3 < 93​ + 3 <---- Add 3 to both sides,

16t < 96 <--- Simplify and do addition.


(16t)/(16) <
(96)/(16) <--- Divide both sides by 16.

t < 6 <--- is the answer to the inequality.

Hope this helps! :D

Explanation:

5t-3(7t+1) < 93

Remove the parentheses

5t-21t-3 < 93

-16t < 93+3

-16t < 96

Divide both sides by 16

-t<96/16

-t<6

t > -6
