What would you like to do with this? Solve for the variable t?
2%284t%2B9%29+%3C=+18 To solve for t, you do exactly as you would with an equation. First divide both sides by 2.
%282%2F2%29%284t%2B9%29+%3C=+18%2F2
4t%2B9+%3C=+9 Next, subtract 9 from both sides.
4t%2B9-9+%3C=+9-9
4t+%3C=+0 Finally, divide both sides by 4.
4t%2F4+%3C=+0%2F4 to get...
highlight%28t+%3C=+0%29 as your answer.
