Question

16 - 2t = 5t + 9
Tell the answer
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

16 - 2t= 5t + 9

-2t - 5tb= 9- 16

-7t = -7

-t = -1

t = 1

therefore, 16 - 2t = 5t + 9

16 - 2×1 = 5×1 + 9

16 - 2 = 5 + 9

14 = 14

Answer 2

$\bf\underline{\underline{\green{SOLUTION:-}}}$

Given:

16 - 2t = 5t + 9

To find:

t?

explanation:

solving the t means we isolate it from one side using different properties of equality.

So,

$\rule{300}{1}$

subtract 16 from both sides:

$\implies \sf 16 - 2t = 5t + 9$

$\implies \sf16 - 2t - 16 = 5t + 9 - 16$

$\implies \sf - 2t = 5t - 7$

$\rule{300}{1}$

subtract 5t from both sides:

$\implies \sf - 2t - 5t = 5t - 7 - 5t$

$\implies \sf - 7t = 7$

$\rule{300}{1}$

divide both sides by -7:

$\implies \sf \frac{ - 7t}{ - 7} = \frac{ - 7}{ - 7}$

$\implies \sf t = 1$

$\rule{300}{1}$
