How do you solve #124= 7.2t - 32#?

Answer 1

Eva Adamson

In order to solve this, you must combine like terms.

Step 1: combine your like terms

#124 = 7.2t - 32#

When combining terms make sure you leave the t alone by itself.

#156 = 7.2t#

Step 2: get t by itself by dividing each side by 7.2

#156/(7.2) = (7.2t)/(7.2)#

#t= 21.667#

I hope this helps! :)

To solve the equation 124 = 7.2t - 32, you first add 32 to both sides to isolate the term with "t." This gives you 156 = 7.2t. Then, divide both sides by 7.2 to solve for "t." This yields t = 21.67.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
