Given the inequality:

6 - t < 12

Solve for t.

Solution:

In order to solve for t, we simply need to transpose -t and 12 to their opposite sides of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.

6 - t < 12

6 - 12 < t

-6 < t

t is greater than -6.

Final answer:

-6 < t
