Question

i dint get how to do this
-3(t – 16) – 19 = 23

Answer 1

first expand the brackets (use distributive law)
-3*t - (-3)*(-16) - 19 = 23
-3t + 48 - 19 = 23
now subtract 48 and add 19 to both sides of the '=' :
-3t + 48 - 48 - 19 + 19 = 23 -48 + 19
-3t = -25 + 19
-3t = -6
divide both sides by -3
t = -6 /-3
t = 2
