What is 16-2t = 5t + 9

1 = t

Step-by-step explanation:

add 2t to both sides which will leave you with 16 = 7t + 9 then you subtract 9 from both sides which leaves you with 7 = 7t so after that your going to divide by 7 on each side and you should have 1 = t

Step-by-step explanation:

The math question is asking you to solve for t. In other words, your objective is to keep the t in one side of the equal sign, usually the left side, and move everything else to the other side, right side. This is your objective.

Step 1. Write out what you have, in this case and equation

16-2t=5t+9

In this case, it is better to move the t's on the right side of the equal sign.

16 (2t-2t) = 5t+9-2t = ==> 16 = (5t+2t) + 9 = ==> 16=7t+9

Once you have the t on one side of the equation, move the rest of the stuff, in this case, a whole number t othe other side of the equation.

16-19=7t + (9-9) = ==> - 3=7t + (0) = ==>-3=7t

Your almost done. Next, divide boths sides by 7 in order to get t by itself.

-3=7t = ==> - (3/7) = (7/7) t = ==> - 3/7=t

So, your answer is t = - 3/7
