Given:
16 - 2t = 3/2t + 9
Solve for t
Solution:
In order to solve for t, we simply need to transpose 9 and 2t on the opposite sides of the equation. Note that when transposing a number, the sign changes.
16 - 2t = 3/2t + 9
16 - 9 = 3/2t +2t
16 - 9 = 3/2t + 4/2t
7 = 7/2 t
Multiply both sides by 2/7 in order to cancel 7/2.
7(2/7) = (2/7)(7/2t)
t = 2
Final answer:
t = 2
