9%2820-12t%29=8%286%2B9t%29-24t Start with the given equation.


180-108t=48%2B72t-24t Distribute.


180-108t=48%2B48t Combine like terms on the right side.


-108t=48%2B48t-180 Subtract 180 from both sides.


-108t-48t=48-180 Subtract 48t from both sides.


-156t=48-180 Combine like terms on the left side.


-156t=-132 Combine like terms on the right side.


t=%28-132%29%2F%28-156%29 Divide both sides by -156 to isolate t.


t=11%2F13 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is t=11%2F13
