Q. Solve for t t . Reduce any fractions to lowest terms. Don't round your answer, and don't use mixed fractions.\newline12t2<5t+36 12t - 2 < -5t + 36
  1. Combine like terms: Combine like terms by moving all terms involving tt to one side of the inequality and constants to the other side.\newlineTo do this, add 5t5t to both sides and add 22 to both sides.\newline12t - 2 + 5t + 2 < -5t + 36 + 5t + 2\newlineThis simplifies to:\newline12t + 5t < 36 + 2
  2. Simplify inequality: Simplify both sides of the inequality.\newlineCombine the tt terms on the left side and the constant terms on the right side.\newline12t+5t=17t12t + 5t = 17t\newline36+2=3836 + 2 = 38\newlineSo the inequality becomes:\newline17t < 38
  3. Solve for tt: Solve for tt by dividing both sides of the inequality by 1717.17t < 38t < \frac{38}{17}t < 2.235294117647059 (This is the decimal form, but we need to keep it as a fraction and reduce it to lowest terms.)
  4. Reduce fraction: Reduce the fraction 3817\frac{38}{17} to its lowest terms.\newlineSince 3838 and 1717 have no common factors other than 11, the fraction is already in its simplest form.\newlineTherefore, t < \frac{38}{17}.
