Question

I'm having trouble solving this problem... -t/4=8??? Am I supposed to multiply it by the reciprocal on both sides??? If so, how do I multiply -t/4 by its reciprocal when there's only 1 number??? I'm so confused!!!

Answer 1

\[{-t \over 4}=8\]multiply both sides of the equation by 4\[\rightarrow{-t\over 4} \times 4 =8 \times 4\]simplify \[-t=32\]
multiply/divide both sides by negative 1
\[-t \times -1=32 \times -1\]
simplify
\[t=-32\]
