t - 13 = -29 what is this problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey brittny sorry i got a new one if you read this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add 13 to both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I still don't get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

t = -16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but that add up to -3

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

ill explain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

you know how you are trying to find t right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

and you know every time obviously when a variable equals something or anything in general equals something its alone for example

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

you know R = 5. in that statement R is alone because R equals 5what i mean by alone is like there is no numbers on the R's side of the equal sign you sort of understand?

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

you there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kind of and the answer is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-16

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

ok do you know every time that you know something is equal to something for example P = 6. That makes sense right?

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

it doesnt make sense if there is an equation like 3R = 4

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

so in order to make the t alone like my example

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

you have to take out the - 13 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

so to take out that - 13 you have to do the opposite to it so the opposite of - 13 is positive 13 right? And if they are added together they make 0 you get me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea and got to go byeeeee sorry

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

okay

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

well pretty much you add 13 on each side
