Q. Solve for tt. \newline20t+17<9t+8(10t17)-20t + 17 < 9t + 8(-10t - 17)\newlineWrite your answer with tt first, followed by an inequality symbol. \newline______
  1. Combine like terms: Now, combine like terms on the right side. \newline-20t + 17 < -71t - 136
  2. Add terms: Next, add 71t71t to both sides to get all the tt terms on one side.\newline-20t + 71t + 17 < -71t + 71t - 136\newline51t + 17 < -136
  3. Subtract to isolate: Then, subtract 1717 from both sides to isolate the tt term.\newline51t + 17 - 17 < -136 - 17\newline51t < -153
  4. Divide to solve: Finally, divide both sides by 5151 to solve for tt. \newline\frac{51t}{51} < \frac{-153}{51}\newlinet < -3
