3T-2(T+3)=T
3T-2T-6=T
3T-2T-T=6
3T-3T=6
0T=6 NO SOLUTION HERE FOR T.

Given:
.
3t-2(t+3)=t
.
First do the distributed multiplication on the left side by multiplying -2 times each of the
two terms in the parentheses.
.
That results in:
.
3t - 2t - 6 = t
.
On the left side combine the 3t and the -2t which results in just t and the equation becomes:
.
t - 6 = t
.
Look carefully at this equation. It says that you can take 6 away from some number and
still have that result equal the number. Can't be done ...
.
You could have gone a step further with this by subtracting t from both sides to get:
.
-6 = 0
.
which is obviously not possible. This is a further clue that something is wrong here.
.
So the answer to this problem is that there is no value of t that will satisfy this equation.
.
So there is no solution for this problem.
.
Hope this helps to confirm to you that you weren't making a mistake when you tried to
solve the problem and all the terms that contained t dropped out. You just needed to
recognize that there was no answer to the problem.
