    8t+11=7t-6

    8t-7t = -6-11

    1t = -17

    t = -17

    Since you're looking for the value of t, transfer all variables containing t to one side of the equation. Remember that if you transfer a variable to the other side, its sign will be negated. Notice the sign of 7t, when I transferred it to the left side of the equation, it became -7t. The same is true with the number 11. Transferring it to the right side makes its value -11. Then do the necessary operations, voila! You get the value of t. ^_^

    .1p+2.1=4.6p-1.9+.5p

    .1p - 4.6p - .5p = -1.9 -2.1

    -5p = -4

    p = -4/-5

    p = 4/5 or 0.8

    Both are negative values, so the (-) sign will be cancelled out

    upload 6 to the two factors... 8t + (eleven+6) = 7t+(-6+6) (destructive 6 plus 6) 8t + 17 = 7t - 0 8t + 17 = 7t.... subtract 8t from the two factors.... 8t-8t +17 = 7t - 8t 0 + 17 = -1t 17 = -t (destructive 1t is comparable to -t) multiply the two factors by -a million 17*-a million = -t *-a million -17 = t that's how i solved it...there's a extra constructive way.

    8t + 11 = 7t + 6

    subtract 11 from both sides and u get:

    8t = 7t - 5

    then subtract 7t from both sides and u get:

    1t = -5

    to check plug -5 into the t's in the equation and itll look like:

    8(-5) + 11 = 7(-5) + 6

    = -40+11 = -35+6

    = -29= -29

    8t+11=7t-6

    -7t -7t subtract 7t from both sides

    1t+11=-6

    -11 -11 subtract 11 from both sides

    t=-17

    the answer is t= -17

    8t-7t=11+6

    answer is :::: t=17

    you need to add 6 on both sides and subtract 7t on both sides either...
