Alright, so we've established that the true answer is 48, but we need to understand how to get that.
We know the equation is (t/4) - 3 = 9
First, we need to add 3 to both sides. You should come up with: t/4 = 12
Now, when you have a fraction like that, you need to multiply by the denominator on both sides, no matter what the numerator may be. Therefore:
t/4 (4) = 12(4)
t = 48
As another example to enhance your understanding, let's use (x/5) - 6 = 10.
You'd begin by adding 6 to each side: (x/5) = 16.
Then, multiply by 5 (the denominator) on both sides.
x = 80.
