cwrw238 · Answer

the question is a bit ambiguous
is the left hand side  

(7/2t )  + 2   or 7 / (2t + 2) ?

cwrw238 · Answer

or of course it could be (7/2) t   or 3.5t

cwrw238 · Answer

i think the last one is most likely

cwrw238 · Answer

in which case it simplifies to 
3.5t = -2

cwrw238 · Answer

and t = -4/7 is the correct answer

texaschic101 · Answer

(7/2)t + 2 = 4 + 7t --- multiply everything by 2
7t + 4 = 8 + 14t
7t - 14t = 8 - 4
-7t = 4
t = -4/7

cwrw238 · Answer

to avoid confusion the equation should be written as texaschic wrote it
