Gather all of the variable terms on one side of the equation and all of the constant terms on the other side. Remember that fractions can only be added or subtracted if they have common denominators.
t=- 12
To solve an equation, we should first gather all of the variable terms on one side of the equation and all of the constant terms on the other side using the Properties of Equality.
1/b* a = a/b
LHS-2=RHS-2
LHS-t/4=RHS-t/4
a/b=a * 4/b * 4
a/b=a * 3/b * 3
