Question

-9 -(-3 - 5t)= -3(7t+4)

Answer 1

Solving for t?

Answer 2

-9 +3 + 5t = -21t - 12

So do you know the rule that if you multiply a negative by a negative it turns positive?

Answer 3

I do know that rule and just about anyway I do this problem and check my answer it's wrong lol. I believe it is -9 -(-3). I'm just to the point where I am confusing myself worse.

Answer 4

but yes solving for T.

Answer 5

When there is a parenthesis between a minus and negative sign it becomes a +

Answer 6

Basically what I keep getting is;
-9 - (-3 - 5t)= -3(7t + 4)
6-5t =-3(7t+4)
6-5t = -21t +12
6+16t= +12
16t =6
then the division is 16/6 but I get 2.666666667 and plugging that back in it doesnt equal the other side...
