−
4
5
​
t=
9

Answer 1

To solve for t, we can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 4/5 to isolate t on one side of the equation:

(4/5)t = 9 * (4/5)

When we simplify the right side of the equation, we find:

(4/5)t = 36/5

Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 4/5, which is 5/4:

(5/4) * (4/5)t = (5/4) * (36/5)

Simplifying the left side of the equation, we have:

t = 36/4

Finally, we simplify the fraction on the right side:

t = 9

Therefore, t = 9 is the solution to the equation.
