Q. Solve the linear equation. Be sure to check your solution.\newline76=49t \frac{7}{6}=-\frac{4}{9} t\newlineThe solution set is \square.
  1. Identify equation: Identify the given linear equation.\newlineWe have the equation 76=49t\frac{7}{6} = -\frac{4}{9}t, where we need to solve for tt.
  2. Isolate variable: Isolate the variable tt. To isolate tt, we need to get rid of the fraction (4/9)-(4/9) that is multiplying tt. We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of (4/9)-(4/9), which is 9/4-9/4.
  3. Multiply by reciprocal: Multiply both sides of the equation by 94-\frac{9}{4}.$(76)(94)=(49)t(94)\$(\frac{7}{6}) \cdot (-\frac{9}{4}) = -(\frac{4}{9})t \cdot (-\frac{9}{4})
  4. Simplify both sides: Simplify both sides of the equation.\newlineOn the left side, we multiply the numerators and the denominators separately: (7×9)/(6×4)(7 \times -9) / (6 \times 4).\newlineOn the right side, the 9/4-9/4 and 4/9-4/9 cancel each other out, leaving us with just tt.
  5. Perform multiplication: Perform the multiplication on the left side.\newline(7×9)/(6×4)=63/24(7 \times -9) / (6 \times 4) = -63 / 24
  6. Simplify fraction: Simplify the fraction on the left side if possible.\newline6324-\frac{63}{24} can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 33.\newline(633)/(243)=218\left(-\frac{63}{3}\right) / \left(\frac{24}{3}\right) = -\frac{21}{8}
  7. Final value of t: Write down the final value of t.\newlinet = 218-\frac{21}{8}
