\"Subtraction\"\"

\

The equation is 16+t = \"\"9

\

Apply subtraction property of equality: Subtract 16 from each side.

\

t +16\"\"16 =\"\"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
