The equation is 16+t =
9
Apply subtraction property of equality: Subtract 16 from each side.
\t +16
16 =
9
16
t + 0 =
9
16 (Apply additive inverse property: 16
16 = 0)
t =
25 (Apply additive identity property: a + 0 = a)
t =
25 (Subtract:
9
16=
25)
Check:
\To check the solution, substitute t =
25 in original equation.
16+t =
9
16+(
25) =
9
16
25 =
9 (Product of two opposite signs is negative)
9 =
9 (Subtract :16
25 =
9)
The statement is true.
\The value of t =
25
