Question

Solve for t. 3(t – 13) = 18

Answer 1

Answer:

t = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Distribute the 3. Now the equation is 3t - 39 = 18

2) Add 39 to both sides. The equations is now 3t = 57

3) Divide both sides by 3. t = 19

4) Plug 19 in for t in the original equation to double check your work. 19 is correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

t = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Distribute

3(t - 13) = 18

3t - 39 = 18

Step 2:  Add 39 to both sides

3t - 39 + 39 = 18 + 39

3t = 57

Step 3:  Divide both sides by 3

3t / 3 = 57 / 3

t = 19

Answer:  t = 19
