Answer:
t = -19.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
- [tex]-8.2 + \frac{t}{-2} = 1.7[/tex]
- [tex]-8.2 - \frac{1}{2}t = 1.7[/tex]
- [tex]-\frac{1}{2}t - 8.2 = 1.7[/tex]
Step 2: Add 8.2 to both sides.
- [tex]-\frac{1}{2}t - 8.2 + 8.2 = 1.7 + 8.2[/tex]
- [tex]-\frac{1}{2}t = 9.9[/tex]
Step 3: Multiply both sides by -2.
- [tex]-\frac{1}{2}t * (-2)= 9.9 * (-2)[/tex]
- [tex]t = -19.8[/tex]
