Question

I will fan and medal: 6(t - 2) = 2t + 2

Answer 1

Simplifying
6(t + -2) = 2t + 2

Reorder the terms:
6(-2 + t) = 2t + 2
(-2 * 6 + t * 6) = 2t + 2
(-12 + 6t) = 2t + 2

Reorder the terms:
-12 + 6t = 2 + 2t

Solving
-12 + 6t = 2 + 2t

Solving for variable 't'.

Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2t' to each side of the equation.
-12 + 6t + -2t = 2 + 2t + -2t

Combine like terms: 6t + -2t = 4t
-12 + 4t = 2 + 2t + -2t

Combine like terms: 2t + -2t = 0
-12 + 4t = 2 + 0
-12 + 4t = 2

Add '12' to each side of the equation.
-12 + 12 + 4t = 2 + 12

Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0
0 + 4t = 2 + 12
4t = 2 + 12

Combine like terms: 2 + 12 = 14
4t = 14

Divide each side by '4'.
t = 3.5

Simplifying
t = 3.5
