4x - (9 - 3x) = 8x - 1
4x - (9) - -(3x) = 8x - 1
4x - 9 + 3x = 8x - 1
7x - 9 = 8x - 1 (-8x from each side)
-x - 9 = -1 (+9 to each)
-x = 8 (divide -1 from each side)
x = -8
So 3.5(t+6\=7 Divide both sides of the equation by 3.5t+6=2 Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign t=2-6 Calculate the difference your final answer is
t= -4
