Question

I have 3 troubling questions,
1. What is T when -9(T-2)=4(T-5)
2. what is X when 2(4x+2)=4x
3. what is S when 26-4s=9s

Answer 1

1. -9(T-2)=4(T-5)

Distribute

-9t+18=4t-5

Sub 4 because t is a like term and it is positive so sign changes because it is in opposite sides.

-14t+18=-5

Sub 18 to like term which is -5

-14t=-23

Divide

T= -14/-23 or -0.4375

2. 2(4x+2)=4x

Distribute

8x+4= 4x

Sub 8x

4=-4x

Divide -4x

X=-1

3. 26-4s=9s

Sub -4s

26=5s

Divide 5s

5/26 or 0.03846154
