The equation is 4 + t =
7.
According to Addition property of equality: if a = b, then a + c = b + c.
\ 4 + t + 4 =
7 + 4 (Add 4 to each sides)
t = 7 + 4 (Additive inverse property:
4 + 4 = 0)
t = 3 (Add:
7 + 4 =
3)
Check:
\To check the solution, substitute t = 3 in original equation.
4 + t =
7
4
3 =
7
= 7 =
7 (Subtract:
4
3 =
7 )
Compare the values, the equation is true. The solution is t = 3.
The value of t = 3.
