what number would you add 2 to in order to get 4?

well 2 but like I need to show my work and I know the answer but shouldn't it be more complicated

To get u by itself, just subtract 2 from each side.

5/13 t = -9

wolfe8 · Answer

Since you multiply t with 5/13 to get -9, to just have t on the left side you will divide both sides with 5/13

anonymous · Answer

-117/5

wolfe8 · Answer

Yup. If required or if you want to, you can write that as a mixed number or decimal. Usually mixed number.
