Question 1137257

-3(t-2)=12
-3+3(t-2)=12+3
(t-2)=15
t-2/-2=15/-2
t=-7.5
<pre> -3(t-2)=12
-3+3(t-2)=12+3 <b> <=====</b> NOPE, NOPE, NOPE!! This is NOT how this is done
{{{matrix(1,3, t - 2, "=", 12/(- 3))}}} <======== DIVIDE both sides by - 3
t - 2 = - 4
{{{highlight_green(matrix(1,5, t, "=", - 4 + 2, "=", - 2))}}}
