Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

1/4t - 6 = -4

Step 2: Solve for t

1. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 6 on both sides:                                   1/4t = 2
2. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 1/4 on both sides:                              t = 8

Answer 2

Answer:

t=8

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 = 0.25

0.25t - 6 = -4

0.25t = -4 + 6

0.25t = 2

t = 2/0.25

t = 8
