Question 709516
{{{-2(t-8)-(t+1)=6}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-2t+16-t-1=6}}} Distribute.



{{{15-3t=6}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-3t=6-15}}} Subtract {{{15}}} from both sides.



{{{-3t=-9}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{t=(-9)/(-3)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-3}}} to isolate {{{t}}}.



{{{t=3}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{t=3}}}
