Question

Solve -5t + 9 = 24
What is the answer?

Answer 1

t = − 3

Explanation:

-5t + 9 = 24

Move all terms that don't contain t to the right side and solve:

--> -9 from 9 and 24.

Rewrite:

--> -5t = 15

Solve:

--> 5 divided on each side

--> -15/5 = -3

Answer 2

t=-3

Explanation:

subtract 9 from both sides and then divide both sides by -5
