23 - t < 2(t - 9) - 3(t + 2)
23 - t < 2t -18 -3t - 6
23 - t < -t - 24
47 < 0
This is the equation simplified. Unfortunately the end result is false. So, the teacher gave you a trick question. Sorry, but this equation has no real answer.

first u distribute the 2(t-9) and -3(t+2) giving u 2t - 18-3t-6
ok current problem 23-t<2t-18-3t-6
now u simplify all like terms -3t+2t= -t
and -18-6=24 now u have
23-t<-t-24
the ts cancel out then u get this
23<-24
umm im not sure but this could be wrong or just has no solution

23-t<2t-18-3t-6
23-t+t<2t-18-3t+t-6
23<-24+0t+24
47<0t
