Solve for t.

Question

(t − 6)(t − 1) = 0

Write your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.

t =
or t =

Answer 1

To solve the equation \((t - 6)(t - 1) = 0\), we will set each factor equal to zero:

1. \(t - 6 = 0\)
2. \(t - 1 = 0\)

Now, solve each equation:

1. For \(t - 6 = 0\): \[ t = 6 \]

2. For \(t - 1 = 0\): \[ t = 1 \]

Thus, the solutions are: \[ t = 6 \quad \text{or} \quad t = 1 \]

So the final answer is: \[ t = 6 \quad \text{or} \quad t = 1 \]
