Solve for t. t-3(4-1)=-24

Question

A.
-6

B.
-3

C.
3

D.
6

Answer 1

To solve for t, we need to simplify the equation first:

t - 3(4 - 1) = -24

First, we apply the parentheses:

t - 3(3) = -24

Next, we simplify the multiplication inside the parentheses:

t - 9 = -24

To isolate t, we add 9 to both sides of the equation:

t - 9 + 9 = -24 + 9

t = -15

So the solution is t = -15.

None of the provided options match the correct answer.

Answer 2

That's wrong

Answer 3

Apologies for the incorrect solution. Let's solve the equation correctly:

t - 3(4 - 1) = -24

First, simplify inside the parentheses:

t - 3(3) = -24

Now, perform the multiplication:

t - 9 = -24

Next, isolate t by adding 9 to both sides of the equation:

t - 9 + 9 = -24 + 9

t = -15

After recalculating, the correct solution is t = -15.

Since none of the provided options match the correct answer, it appears there may be a mistake in the answer choices.
