Full solution

Q. Solve for t t .\newlinet+23=t+76 \frac{t + 2}{3} = \frac{t + 7}{6} \newlineThere may be 11 or 22 solutions.\newlinet= t = _____ or t= t = _____
  1. Cross multiply to eliminate fractions: Cross multiply to eliminate the fractions.\newline(t+2)/3=(t+7)/6(t + 2)/3 = (t + 7)/6\newline6(t+2)=3(t+7)6 \cdot (t + 2) = 3 \cdot (t + 7)
  2. Distribute 66 and 33 on both sides: Distribute the 66 and 33 on both sides of the equation.6t+12=3t+216t + 12 = 3t + 21
  3. Isolate variable t: Isolate the variable t on one side of the equation.\newline6t3t=21126t - 3t = 21 - 12\newline3t=93t = 9
  4. Solve for t: Solve for t by dividing both sides of the equation by 33.\newline3t3=93\frac{3t}{3} = \frac{9}{3}\newlinet=3t = 3
