Question 1 Report

Solve for t in the equation \( \frac{3}{4}t + \frac{1}{3}(21 - t) = 11 \)

Answer Details
3 4  t +  1 3  (21 - t) = 11
Multiply through by the LCM of 4 and 3 which is 12
12 x( 3 4  t) + 12 x ( 1 3  (21 - t)) = (11 x 12)
9t + 4(21 - t) = 132
9t + 84 - 4t = 132
5t + 84 = 132
5t = 132 - 84 = 48
t =  48 5
t = 9
