Step 1:
Write the equation
10t + 4 - 2t = 2 - 2 ( t + 4)
Step 2:
Use the distributive property to expand the right hand side and collect similar terms.
[tex]\begin{gathered} 10t\text{ + 4 - 2t = 2 - 2t - 8} \\ 10t\text{ - 2t + 2t = 2 - 8 - 4} \\ 10t\text{ = -10} \\ \text{Divide both sides of the equation by 10} \\ \frac{10t}{10}\text{ = }\frac{-10}{10} \\ t\text{ = -1} \end{gathered}[/tex]Final answer
t = -1 Option A
