Question

.

Answer 1

Solving for t simply means that we want to get t by itself on one side. Lets keep it on the left side since it's already there. Then we would want to get rid of that 9

Answer 2

To get rid of that 9 we would subtract both sides by 9

Can you tell me what we then get?

Answer 3

1. Square it.

t + 9^2 = 16^2
=
t + 81 = 256

2. Take the 81 from both sides.

t = 175

DONE! XD

Answer 4

Sorry Ryan D: Can you confirm my method and answer though

Answer 5

great now we have \[\sqrt{t}=7\]

now we have to square both sides

\[\sqrt{t}^2=7^2\]
\[t=7^2\]

Can you tell me what that is?

Answer 6

Yup. Is that one of your answer choices?

Answer 7

Yes you are correct.
