C. t - 3.8 = 45.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Steve's time = 45.1 seconds

Tom finished 3.8 seconds later

So add 3.8 to steve's time to find tom's time (t)

t = s+3.8

t = 45.1 + 3.8

Subtract 3.8 from each side

t - 3.8 = 45.1 + 3.8-3.8

t - 3.8 = 45.1

Tom crossed the finish line 3.8 seconds after Steve. Steve finished the race in 45.1 seconds. If t represents Tom's race time, which of the following equations is true?A. 45.1 - t = 3.8B. 45.1 + t = 3.8C. t - 3.8 = 45.1D. t + 3.8 = 45.1
