Answer:
The correct answer is:
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to solve for the amount of money he pays each month. This is represented by y in the equation. This means we want to isolate y in the equation:
x = t - yz
We first want to subtract t from each side:
x - t = t - yz - t
x - t = -yz
Now we want to cancel the negative sign and z. We can isolate both of these at the same time; divide both sides by -z:
\frac{x-t}{-z} = \frac{-yz}{-z} \\ \\\frac{x-t}{-z}=y
We can divide the numerator by the negative sign; this gives us
\frac{-x+t}{z}=y
