Question

What is equivalent to -1/3t=4/3​

Answer 1

Answer:

The equivalent of -1/3t = 4/3​ is t = -4

Solution:

Need to determine such value of t so that when it is multiplied by -1/3, we should get 4/3

That is we need to solve following expression for value of t.

$-\frac{1}{3} t=\frac{4}{3}$

On multiplying both the sides by 3 we get

$\begin{array}{l}{-\frac{1}{3} t \times 3=\frac{4}{3} \times 3} \\\\ {=>-t=4}\end{array}$

Now multiplying both the sides by -1 we get

$\begin{array}{l}{-t \times-1=4 \times-1} \\ {=>t=-4}\end{array}$

Let’s recheck the value of t

$-\frac{1}{3} t=-\frac{1}{3} \times-4=\frac{4}{3}$

Hence for t = -4, expression -1/3 t is equal to 4/3.
