Explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

t + t + t = 12

Step 2: Solve for t

1. Combine like terms (t): 3t = 12
2. Divide 3 on both sides: t = 4

Step 3: Check

Plug in t into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

1. Substitute in t: 4 + 4 + 4 = 12
2. Add: 8 + 4 = 12
3. Add: 12 = 12

Here we see that 12 does indeed equal 12.

∴ t = 4 is a solution of the equation.
