How do you solve: 3(a+2)=2(a-7) and 9(t-1)=6(t+2)-t

t=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

5 + -1(t + 3) = -1 + 2(t + -3)   Reorder the terms:

5 + -1(3 + t) = -1 + 2(t + -3)

5 + (3 * -1 + t * -1) = -1 + 2(t + -3)

5 + (-3 + -1t) = -1 + 2(t + -3)

Combine like terms: 5 + -3 = 2

2 + -1t = -1 + 2(t + -3)

Reorder the terms:

2 + -1t = -1 + 2(-3 + t)

2 + -1t = -1 + (-3 * 2 + t * 2)

2 + -1t = -1 + (-6 + 2t)

Combine like terms: -1 + -6 = -7

2 + -1t = -7 + 2t

Solving

2 + -1t = -7 + 2t

Solving for variable 't'.

Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2t' to each side of the equation.

2 + -1t + -2t = -7 + 2t + -2t

Combine like terms: -1t + -2t = -3t

2 + -3t = -7 + 2t + -2t

Combine like terms: 2t + -2t = 0

2 + -3t = -7 + 0

2 + -3t = -7

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.

2 + -2 + -3t = -7 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0

0 + -3t = -7 + -2

-3t = -7 + -2

Combine like terms: -7 + -2 = -9

-3t = -9

Divide each side by '-3'.

t = 3

Simplifying

t = 3

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
