5t-9
-----
4 = 14
*5t-9 is over 4. if you understand the question please answer!!
Do have trouble finding t?
yeah all i need to find is t. it is really confusing me. can you please help me find what t is? if so thanks a lot
can you please help me, Joshua?
(5t-9/ 4 ) = 14
5t-9 =14*4 multiply 4 to both sides, and it cancels the 4 on the left side.
5t-9=56 add 9 to both sides, and it cancels on the left side.
5t=56+9
5t=65 divide by 5 on both sides
t= 13
thanks a million!!
Joshua did a great job!
I just want to say that to solve for a variable (any variable) means to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.
Do you see, as Joshua said, that
t = 13?
Do you see that the letter or variable t has been isolated on one side of the equation?
That means Joshua solved the equation for t.
To find out if Joshua is correct (and he is), replace t with 13 in the original equation given and simplify.
If you get the SAME answer on both sides of the equation, then you will know FOR SURE that t = 13.
Got it?
To solve the equation (5t-9) / 4 = 14, we need to isolate the variable t.
To do this, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to remove the denominator:
(4) * (5t-9) / 4 = 14 * 4
This simplifies to: 5t - 9 = 56
Step 2: Add 9 to both sides of the equation to move the constant term to the right side:
5t - 9 + 9 = 56 + 9
This simplifies to: 5t = 65
Step 3: Divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for t:
(5t) / 5 = 65 / 5
This simplifies to: t = 13
So, the solution to the equation (5t-9) / 4 = 14 is t = 13.
