Question

Solve for t

2t-1=.75t+9

Answer 1

Hello, Lena from Oregon

 

OK...  You can do this problem in 4 different ways.  Lets try this one

 

2t-1= .75 t+9                           Add 1 to both sides.  Why? I decided to move the all the

    +1          +!                         constants to the right.

2t   = .75t +10                         Subtract .75t from both sides

-.75t   -.75t

 1.25t=      10                          Divide both sides by 1.25

       t=      8

 

And, there you have it.  I hope this helps and don't forget to rate my answer.
