Solve 16-2t=5+t-9

$$16 - 2 t = 5 + t - 9$$

Solve for t

$$t = \frac{20}{3} = 6\frac{2}{3} \approx 6.666666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 9 from 5 to get -4.

$$16-2t=-4+t$$

Subtract t from both sides.

$$16-2t-t=-4$$

Combine -2t and -t to get -3t.

$$16-3t=-4$$

Subtract 16 from both sides.

$$-3t=-4-16$$

Subtract 16 from -4 to get -20.

$$-3t=-20$$

Divide both sides by -3.

$$t=\frac{-20}{-3}$$

Fraction \frac{-20}{-3} can be simplified to \frac{20}{3} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$t=\frac{20}{3}$$
