Answer:
t= -0.18
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate t to get the unknown number:
(-4.5t)(49.5t) = 40
Multiply (-4.5t)(49.5t):
(-4.5t)(49.5t) = -222.75t
Now, write full equation:
-222.75t = 40
Isolate t by dividing -222.75 on both sides:
[tex]\frac{-222.75}{-222.75}t=\frac{40}{-222.75}[/tex]
Cancel out left hand side:
[tex]t=\frac{40}{-222.75}[/tex]
Simplify your answer:
[tex]t=-0.17957351[/tex]
Approximate to 2 decimals:
[tex]t=-0.18[/tex]
