Given the equation:
29 more than t is equal to 1
Determine the value of t.
Solution:
In order to determine the value of t, we simply needed to represent the given values in an equation.
29 + t = 1
To solve for t, we simply needed to transpose 29 to the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
29 + t = 1
t = 1 - 29
t = -28
Check:
29 + (-28) = 1
29 - 28 = 1
1 = 1
Final answer:
t = -28
