Question

What value of t makes the following equation true? 3(t−2)=−1

Answer 1

Answer:

t=

Step-by-step explanation:

3(t-2)=-1

3t-6=-1

3t-6+6=-1+6

3t=5

t=5/3

Answer 2

Answer:

5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(t - 2) = -1

3t - 6 = -1

3t = -1 + 6

3t = 5

t = 5/3 <==

lets check it..

3(5/3 - 2) = -1

3(5/3 - 6/3) = -1

3(-1/3) = -1

-3/3 = -1

-1 = -1 (correct)...it checks out
