anonymous · Answer

$$6y+62s=\frac{1}{2}(3t+42s)$$?

candyme · Answer

Yes, but the 6y is actually 6t.

anonymous · Answer

yes of course.  i was just wondering about the plus sign

anonymous · Answer

wanna get rid of the fraction first? multiply by 2 to get 
$$12t+124s=3t+42s$$

anonymous · Answer

$$12t-3t=42x=124x$$
$$11t=-81s$$
$$t=\frac{-81s}{11}$$ check my algebra

anonymous · Answer

yikes what a bunch of typos let me try again

anonymous · Answer

9t = 166

t = 166/9

anonymous · Answer

$$12t+124s=3t+42s$$
$$12t-3t=42s-124s$$
$$11t=-82s$$
$$t=\frac{-82s}{11}$$
