Question

Identify the terms, like terms, coefficients, and constants in each expression.

Answer 1

Simplifying
8 + 6t = 3t + t

Combine like terms: 3t + t = 4t
8 + 6t = 4t

Solving
8 + 6t = 4t

Solving for variable 't'.

Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4t' to each side of the equation.
8 + 6t + -4t = 4t + -4t

Combine like terms: 6t + -4t = 2t
8 + 2t = 4t + -4t

Combine like terms: 4t + -4t = 0
8 + 2t = 0

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.
8 + -8 + 2t = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
0 + 2t = 0 + -8
2t = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 0 + -8 = -8
2t = -8

Divide each side by '2'.
t = -4

Simplifying
t = -4
