Question 671903
{{{-8(t-7)-1(t+1)=8}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-8t+56-t-1=8}}} Distribute.



{{{55-9t=8}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-9t=8-55}}} Subtract {{{55}}} from both sides.



{{{-9t=-47}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{t=(-47)/(-9)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-9}}} to isolate {{{t}}}.



{{{t=47/9}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{t=47/9}}}
