Question

solve and check the solution. -4(t-8)-(t+3)=3

Answer 1

Do you know where to start?

Answer 2

by combining like terms maybe?

Answer 3

First, I would get rid of the parentheses...distribute the the -4 to to (t-8) and the negative sign to (t+3).

Answer 4

Then the answer should become more obvious...add/subtract like terms and solve it from there.

Answer 5

so it would be -4-32 and t-3?

Answer 6

sorry a t in the -4

Answer 7

-4t+32-t-3=3

Answer 8

is the answer -7?

Answer 9

-4t+32-t-3=3
-5t+29=3
-5t=-26
t=26/5
