Linear Equations 4(t-2) + 2t -4 = 2(9-2t)

Answer 1

Hey!

Here is the equation:

$4(t-2)+ 2t - 4 = 2(9-2t)$

First remove the parentheses and multiply everything. Now it becomes:

$4t - 8 + 2t - 4 = 18 - 4t$

Combine all the terms with variables(like terms). It becomes:

$6t - 12 = 18 - 4t$

Add 4t to each side so you can move the variable. It becomes:

$10t - 12 = 18$

Add 12 to each side to leave the variable alone. It becomes:

$10t = 30$

At last, divide both sides by 10 to leave the variable by itself.

$\frac{10t}{10} = \frac{30}{10}$

Divide:

$\framebox{t = 3}$
