t - 9 = 17 I know this has to be easy but I can't for the life of me remember how to do it. I know how to write the justifications. Do you add 17 to both sides to start?

The goal is to fully isolate the variable t

To do so, we need to undo the subtraction of 9 we do this by adding 9 to both sides |dw:1411345794737:dw| which is a valid move due to the additive property of equality
