1-15 = 2t - 11

i can not figure out this question i have tried over 30 times and i cant get it

1-15 = 2t - 11

-14 = 2t-11

move - 11 to the other side

sign changes from - 11 to + 11

-14+11 = 2t-11+11

-14+11 = 2t

-3 = 2t

divide both sides by 2 to get t by itself

-3/2 = 2t/2

Answer:

t = - 3/2, t = - 1.5 and t = - 1 1/2

Answer: t=-3/2

step-by-step:

okay so in order to do this problem, it's best if you combine the 1 and - 15 into - 14

-14=2t-11

next, you wanna add 11 to both sides to get rid of the eleven on the right

-14+11=2t-11+11

and that makes

-3=2t

(-14+11=-3 and 2t-11+11=2t)

now you want to divide each side by 2

-3/2=2t/2

2t/2=t so that makes your final answer t=-3/2
