$t = 6$

Question:

$−9t+18=4t−60$

Answer:

Move the $t$ s to one side

$18=4t−60+9t$

Move the like numerals to one side (opposite side to which the $t$ is on)

$60+18=4t+9t$

Add like terms

$78=13t$

To get $t$ on its own, divide both sides by $13$ (what you do on one side must be done on the other)

$78/13 = (13t)/13$

$78/13=t$

Solve the division

$78/13 = 6$

Therefore,

$6 = t$
