Question

$$5t+1=2(7t+16$$

Solve for t

$t = -\frac{31}{9} = -3\frac{4}{9} \approx -3.444444444$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $2$ by $7t+16$.

$$5t+1=14t+32$$

Subtract $14t$ from both sides.

$$5t+1-14t=32$$

Combine $5t$ and $-14t$ to get $-9t$.

$$-9t+1=32$$

Subtract $1$ from both sides.

$$-9t=32-1$$

Subtract $1$ from $32$ to get $31$.

$$-9t=31$$

Divide both sides by $-9$.

$$t=\frac{31}{-9}$$

Fraction $\frac{31}{-9}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{31}{9}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$t=-\frac{31}{9}$$
