Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To solve the equation, first eliminate the decimals by multiplying every term by 10, turning the equation into 136t + 1088 = 408t + 3264. Then, rearrange the equation to get all the t terms on one side and the constants on the other: 136t - 408t = 3264 - 1088. Simplifying this gives -272t = 2176. Dividing both sides by -272 gives t = -8.
