You can put this solution on YOUR website!
100 - T = 125
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 100 from both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "-T = 125 - 100
\n" ); document.write( "-T = 25
\n" ); document.write( "The variable (T in this case) has to be positive, multiply both side by -1
\n" ); document.write( "T = -25
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution in original equation
\n" ); document.write( "100 - (-25) = 120
\n" ); document.write( "Remember that minus a minus is a plus, so you have:
\n" ); document.write( "100 + 25 = 125; confirms our solution
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
