Question

How do you solve `-6t-7=17`?

Answer 1

`t=-4`

Explanation:

Leave the term in t on the left side of the equation and collect numeric values on the right side.

add 7 to both sides.

`-6tcancel(-7)cancel(+7)=17+7`

`rArr-6t=24`

To solve for t, divide both sides by - 6.

`(cancel(-6) t)/cancel(-6)=24/(-6)`

`rArrt=-4" is the solution"`
