Question

solve for t.
4(t + 16) = 4
t =
submit

Explanation:

Step1: Expand the left - hand side

$4(t + 16)=4t+64$
So the equation becomes $4t + 64=4$.

Step2: Subtract 64 from both sides

$4t+64 - 64=4 - 64$
$4t=-60$

Step3: Divide both sides by 4

$\frac{4t}{4}=\frac{-60}{4}$
$t=-15$

Answer:

$-15$
