    T

    adds 6

    t-6

    divides by 6

    (t-6) / 6

    shawn

    7+t

    divide by 7

    (7+t) / 7

    theyare equal

    (t-6) / 6 = (7+t) / 7

    times 42 both sides

    7 (t-6) = 6 (t+7)

    distribute

    7t-42=6t+42

    minus 6t both sides

    t-42=42

    add 42 both sides

    t=84
