Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$2 + 1/3t = 1 + 1/4t\\\\2+\frac{1}{3}t=1+\frac{1}{4}t\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}2\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\2+\frac{1}{3}t-2=1+\frac{1}{4}t-2\\\\Simplify\\\frac{1}{3}t=\frac{1}{4}t-1\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}\frac{1}{4}t\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\frac{1}{3}t-\frac{1}{4}t=\frac{1}{4}t-1-\frac{1}{4}t\\\\Simplify\\\frac{1}{12}t=-1\\\\\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}12\\12\times\frac{1}{12}t=12\left(-1\right)\\\\\\Simplify\\r =-12$
