Answer: All Real Numbers or A.R.N

Explanation:

Given

0.5t + 0.25 (t + 16) = 4 + 0.75t

Expand parentheses and apply the distributive property

0.5t + 0.25 · t + 0.25 · 16 = 4 + 0.75t

0.5t + 0.25t +4 = 4 + 0.75t

Combine like terms

0.75t + 4 = 4 + 0.75t

Subtract 0.75t on both sides

0.75t + 4 - 0.75t = 4 + 0.75t - 0.75t

4 = 4

Since both sides are left with the same term, this means any number would be able to make the equation true.

Therefore the answer would be All Real Numbers, or
\boxed{A.R.N}

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

0.5t + 0.25(t +16) =4 + 0.75t

0.5t + 0.25t + 4 = 4 + 0.75t

0.5t+ 0.25t – 0.75 t = 4– 4

0.5t +0.25t–0.75t = 0 —> 0 = 0

I hope I helped you^_^
