Solve 8t + 16 > 16t - (12t - 20).
I know the answer to this, i just want to know the steps on getting that answer please! BTW the answer is t>1.

Answer 1

istribute..

8t + 16 > 16t - 12t + 20
8t + 16 > 4t + 20

Then, rearrange the terms to get:

8t - 4t > 20 - 16
4t > 4
t > 4/4
t > 1

Hence, the solution is {t| t > 1} .

I hope this helps!
