What is the value of t? 0.5 (t-12) = 1.5t-3

-3

-1

1

3

Cross multiply

0.5t - (-6) = 1.5t - 3

combine like terms

0.5 + 1.5 = 2

-6 = 2t - 3

Add 3 to both sides

-6 + 3 = 2t - 3 + 3 negative n positive cancals out

so you get - 3 = 2t

Divide 2t from both sides

-3/2 = 2t+2< cancels out

so your answer would be - 3over2
