Question

What is the solution to the equation? -7(t+9)=175

Answer 1

Answer:

t = -34

Step-by-step explanation:

-7(t+9)=175

Divide each side by -7

-7/-7  (t+9)=175/-7

t+9 =-25

Subtract 9 from each side

t+9-9 = -25-9

t = -34

Answer 2

Answer:

t = -34

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Distribute

-7(t + 9) = 175

(-7 * t) + (-7 * 9) = 175

-7t - 63 = 175

Step 2:  Add 63 to both sides

-7t - 63 + 63 = 175 + 63

-7t = 238

Step 3:  Divide both sides by -7

-7t / -7 = 238 / -7

t = -34

Answer:  t = -34
