The equation is
4 + t =
7.
According to Addition property of equality: if a = b, then a + c = b + c.
\
4 + t + 4 =
7 + 4 (Add 4 to each sides)
t =
7 + 4 (Additive inverse property:
4 + 4 = 0)
t =
3 (Add:
7 + 4 =
3)
Check:
\To check the solution, substitute t =
3 in original equation.
4 + t =
7
4
3 =
7
=
7 =
7 (Subtract:
4
3 =
7 )
Compare the values, the equation is true. The solution is t =
3.
The value of t =
3.
