t=50+N-40/4 if t=50 what is the answer

Answer 1

There are two ways to read this problem and they have different answers. One way is

t = 50 + (N-40)/4.

if this is what is meant, then multiply each term by 4 to remove the fraction.

4(t) = 4(50) + 4((N-40/4). So

4t = 200 + (N-40). The 4's cancel. Put t = 50

4(50) = 200 + (N - 40). Simplify

200. = 200 + N - 40. Collect like terms

200 = 160 + N Subtract 160 from both sides.

40 = N

and the other way is.

t = 50 + N - 40/4 Put 50 in place of t.

50 = 50 + N - 10. Collect like terms

50 = 40 + N Subtract 40 from both sides.

10 = N.

It is very important to be clear about the original problem.
