Question

Solve for t.

6t + 3t = 18

Answer 1

Addd
6t+3t=9t
9t=18
divide both side by 9

Answer 2

t=2

Answer 3

Good job :)

Answer 4

FIRST: Find two numbers that when multiplied equal -18, and add up to -3 (that is, the coeficients of the second term* and the third term*).

Answer = 3 and -6. Because (3)(-6) = -18 and (3)+(-6)=-3

THEN: Multiply two binomials of the form (x + a) (x + b), where "x" will be the square root of the first term* of the original equation, and "a" and "b", will be 3 and -6 (respectively, or the other way around, it doesn't matter)


FACTORS: (t + 3) ( t - 6) or (t - 6) (t + 3)


PROOF:
(t + 3) (t - 6) = t² - 6t + 3t -18 = t² - 3t - 18....or
(t - 6) (t + 3) = t² + 3t - 6t -18 = t² - 3t - 18.

Answer 5

thanks
