solve 3t - 6 = t - 2
is the answer
A) -2
B) -4
C) 2
D) 1
the answer is C because 6-6=2-2
2t-4
To solve the equation 3t - 6 = t - 2, we can start by simplifying both sides of the equation.
First, let's combine like terms on each side of the equation. On the left side, we have 3t - 6, and on the right side, we have t - 2.
To combine like terms on the left side, we can leave the 3t as it is and leave the -6 as it is.
On the right side, we only have t, so there is no need to combine anything.
Now, the equation becomes:
3t - 6 = t - 2
Next, let's isolate the variable t by moving all the terms with t to one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting t from both sides of the equation.
3t - t - 6 = t - t - 2
This simplifies to:
2t - 6 = -2
Let's now solve for t. We want to isolate t, so we can start by adding 6 to both sides of the equation.
2t - 6 + 6 = -2 + 6
This simplifies to:
2t = 4
Finally, to solve for t, we can divide both sides of the equation by 2.
(2t)/2 = 4/2
This simplifies to:
t = 2
So, the solution to the equation 3t - 6 = t - 2 is t = 2.
Therefore, the answer is C) 2.
