solve. the square root of t+9=16

1 answer

To solve for t, we need to isolate t on one side of the equation by undoing the square root operation.

First, square both sides of the equation:
(t+9) = 16^2
(t+9) = 256

Now, subtract 9 from both sides to isolate t:
t = 256 - 9
t = 247

Therefore, the solution to the equation is t = 247.
