Question

Solve for t.
16 - 2t = t + 9 + 4t

T=

Answer 1

The value of t is 1.

Explanation:

We have been given the equation

`16-2t=t+9+4t`

Group the like terms in the right hand side,
`t+4t = 5t`

`16-2t=5t+9`

Subtract 16 to both sides

`-2t=5t-7`

Subtract 5t to both sides

`-7t=-7`

Divide both sides by -7

`t=1`

Therefore, the value of t is 1.
