Given the equation:
16 - 2t = 19t - 47
Solve for t.
Solution:
In order to solve for t, the first step is to transpose -2t and -47 on the opposite sides of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing numbers, the sign changes.
16 - 2t = 19t - 47
16 + 47 = 19t + 2t
63 = 21t
Divide both sides by 21, in order to get the value of t.
21t/21 = 63/21
t = 3
Final answer:
t =3
