Question

What is the value of t in the equation 3(t − 4) = 2t + 1?

Answer 1

Answer: 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute t.

Multiply 3 by each value in parentheses to get

3t - 12 = 2t + 1

Add 12 to both sides

3t = 2t + 13

Subtract 2t from both sides

t = 13

Answer 2

Answer:

t = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

$3(t-4)=2t+1\\\\3t-12=2t+1\\\\t-12=1\\\\t=13$
