Question

$$16 - 25 ( t + 2 ) = 41$$

Solve for t

$t=-3$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $-25$ by $t+2$.

$$16-25t-50=41$$

Subtract $50$ from $16$ to get $-34$.

$$-34-25t=41$$

Add $34$ to both sides.

$$-25t=41+34$$

Add $41$ and $34$ to get $75$.

$$-25t=75$$

Divide both sides by $-25$.

$$t=\frac{75}{-25}$$

Divide $75$ by $-25$ to get $-3$.

$$t=-3$$
