9=t+17/6 need to solve using addition and multiplication principles?

Answer 1

Subtract 17/6 from both side in order to solve for t, you get;
t +(17/6) -(17/6)= 9 - (17/6)

Working the above out you would get
t= = 9 - (17/6) = 6.167 or 37/6

Edit: it seems esoltchr1275 above me have got the question confused with 9 = (6/17)t, at which point multiplying both sides by 17/6 will certainly solve for t and give you the answer t= 51/2. However that is not the case here, and her answer is incorrect. (No offense nor injury intended towards esoltchr1275, just wish to clearify things in case confusion arose.)

Answer 2

Hi :) Great question! :)

Here's the problem ...

9 = t + 17/6

Simply multiply both sides by 17/6

(17/6) 9 = t + 17/6 (17/6)

Now you have t by itself ...

You can cancel the 6 & 9 by dividing both by 3 ...

You'll get 17/2 (3) = t

Now multiply straight across ...

51/2 = t

Hope this helps :)

Answer 3

9=t +17/6

9-17/6=t
54/6-17/6=t
37/6=t
6 1/6=t

Answer 4

14 - 6a = -2a + 3 upload 2a to each and each and every section, and it cancels on the right 14 - 4a = 3 subtract 14 from each and each and every section and it cancels on the left -4a = -11 divide through -4 and it cancels on the left a = 11/4 = 2 3/4
