The equation is 16+t = 9
Apply subtraction property of equality: Subtract 16 from each side.
\t +1616 =
9
16
t + 0 =9
16 (Apply additive inverse property: 16
16 = 0)
t = 25 (Apply additive identity property: a + 0 = a)
t = 25 (Subtract:
9
16=
25)
Check:
\To check the solution, substitute t = 25 in original equation.
16+t = 9
16+(
25) =
9
16 25 =
9 (Product of two opposite signs is negative)
9 =
9 (Subtract :16
25 =
9)
The statement is true.
\The value of t = 25
