10=t/66+9
First subtract 9 from both sides;
10-9=t%2F66+9-9
1=t%2F66
multiply 66 to both sides;
1(66)=t%2F66(66)
66=t
Hope you get it

Hello There:
10 = t/66 + 9
Solving for t means that we manipulate this equation so that t is all by itself on one side of the equals sign.
To start, let's get rid of the 9 on the right side by subtacting it. Of course, whatever arithmetic operation we do to one side of an equation we must do to both sides.
10 - 9 = t/66 + 9 - 9
1 = t/66
If we multiply t/66 by 66 we will get (66/66)*t. 66/66 is equal to 1, so that will isolate t all by itself. As usual, we must multiply BOTH sides by 66.
1*66 = (66/66)*t
This simplifies to:
66 = t
Let's check our answer by substituting 66 for t in the original equation to see if we get a true statement.
10 = t/66 + 9
10 = 66/66 + 9
10 = 1 + 9
10 = 10
This is a true statement, so our answer is correct.
