14%3E=t%2B20 Start with the given inequality



0%3E=t%2B20-14Subtract 14 from both sides


-t%3E=20-14 Subtract t from both sides


-t%3E=6 Combine like terms on the right side


t%3C=%286%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1 to isolate t (note: Remember, dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign)



t%3C=-6 Divide

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is t%3C=-6
