So you times the -2 with the bits inside the bracket so: -2 x t= -2t -2 x 4 2/3 = -9 1/3 So then that makes: -2t - 9 1/3= 9 1/2 So to get what t equals you have to get it by itself so you add the -9 1/3 to both sides of the equation to get: -2t=18 5/6 So then you divide by -2 on both sides to get t=-9 5/12 Which is the answer. :-D
