inhow would you clear fractions or decimals, solve, and check 7t + 8 - 1.62t = 0.4t - 0.32 + 8?
You need to move the decimal of all the terms as many places needed to clear the decimal from the term with the most decimal places.
..
For given equation you will need to move the decimal 2 places for every term. This is like multiplying every term by 100.
7t + 8 - 1.62t = 0.4t - 0.32 + 8
moving decimal 2-places
700t+800-162t=40t-32+800
