Question

5/13 t = –9
Can someone tell me how to solve this step by step ?

Answer 1

Isolate "t" by performing the same arithmetic on each side of the equal sign.

So, if 5x - 3 = 17 :

Add 3 to both sides to get:

5x - 3 [+ 3] = 17 [+ 3]

simplified as

5x = 20

Then divide both sides by 5 to get:

5x/5 = 20/5

simplified as

x = 4

Answer 2

5/13t = -9 or 5t/13=-9, which one ?

Answer 3

5/13t=-9
5=-117t ( multiplying both sides by 13t )
t=-( 5/117 )

Answer 4

-( 5/117 )
