1/2 t-4(2+t)=20
1/2 t-8-4t=20
least common multiple=2
t-16-8t=40
-7t=40+16
-7t=56
t=56/-7=-8

Answer: t=-8

To check
-8/2 - 4(2-8)=-4-4(-6)=-4+24=20

You do it just exactly as the question says:  Take one choice,
substitute it in place of 't' in the given equation, and see if the
equation becomes a true statement.

I'll do 'A' for you:

Does 't' = 8 ? 
Let's see.
If it does, then             (1/2) (8)  -  4(2 + 8)  =  20

                                     (     4    )  -  4(  10  )  =  20

                                     (     4    )  -      40       =  20

                                                  -36               =  20 .

Is that a true statement ?     Is  -36 = 20  ?
I don't think so.
=>  't' is not 8 .     
      'A' is not the correct choice.

Now go ahead and try 'B'.
_________________________________

It might be faster and easier to just take the equation and solve it.
Then you'll know what 't' is, and you won't have to try any suggestions.

Here's the equation:              (1/2) (t) - 4(2 + t)  =  20

Eliminate parentheses
on the left side:                        1/2 t    - 8 - 4t  =  20

Combine the 't's
on the left side:                        -3.5 t  -  8        =  20

Add  8  to each side:               -3.5 t               =  28

Multiply each side by  -1 :         3.5 t               = -28

Divide each side by  3.5 :               t               = - 8 .

Now you can look back at the choices
and see that 'B' is the one you want.

What is the midpoint of a segment in the complex plane with endpoints points a 3-2 I and 17 - 8 I
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

(10,51)

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the average of 3 (x1) and 17(x2). This will be your new x-coordinate.

Then take the average of 21 (y1) and 81 (y2)

(3+17)/2 = 10

(21+81)/2 = 51

What is the solution for -10 < x - 9? x > -19 x < -19 x > -1 x < -1
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Option C:  x > -1 is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

-10 < x - 9--------- eq1

Adding 9 on both sides:

-10  + 9< x - 9 + 9

On left side:

Subtracting positive digit from negative one (greater) will give answer in negative. (-10+9 =-1)

On right side:

Negative 9 will be cancelled by positive 9 and simplified as follows:

-1 < x

OR

x > -1

i hope it will help you!
