Question

Can someone help me solve multiple step equations? For example (7t - 2) - (-3t + 1) = -3(1 - 3t)

Answer 1

Answer:

t = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

(7t - 2) - (-3t + 1) = -3(1 - 3t)

because you can not do anything inside the parantheses, you distribute. there aren't any numbers on the left side of the parantheses on the left side of the equation so we just imagine the number 1. on the right side of the equation, just distribute normally

[ 1(7t - 2) -1(-3t + 1) = -3(1 - 3t) ]

will be

7t - 2 + 3t - 1 = -3 + 9t

add like terms

10t - 3 = -3 + 9t

subtract 9t from both sides

t - 3 = -3

add 3 to both sides

t = 0
