Identify Operation: Identify the operation found in the sentence: "291 is the same as t less than 259."Here, 't less than' indicates that the value of t is being subtracted from another number.Operation: subtraction
Write Equation: We know the operation will be subtraction. Write an equation to represent "291 is the same as t less than 259."To find a number 't' that is less than 259 and equals 291, we need to add 291 to both sides of the equation.Equation: 259−t=291
Solve for t: Solve the equation for t.Add t to both sides: 259=291+tSubtract 291 from both sides: 259−291=tCalculate the difference: −32=t
