Question

Solve for t. 4(t + 12) − -1 = 1

Answer 1

The answer would be -12 I used the app photomath

Answer 2

$Solution, Solve\:for\:t,\:4\left(t+12\right)-\left(-1\right)=1\quad :\quad t=-12$

$Steps:$

$\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:-\left(-a\right)=a, 4\left(t+12\right)+1=1$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}1\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides},4\left(t+12\right)+1-1=1-1$

$\mathrm{Simplify}, 4\left(t+12\right)=0$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}4, \frac{4\left(t+12\right)}{4}=\frac{0}{4}$

$\mathrm{Simplify}, t+12=0$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}12\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides},t+12-12=0-12$

$\mathrm{Simplify}, t=-12$

The Correct answer is t=-12

Hope This Helps!!!
