Can you help me solve?

Question

2/t= -6

t=?

i need to find the answer as a fraction

how do you do this?

Answer 1

You swap t and (-6) that's it. And then you cancel:

2/-6 = -(2/6) = -(1/3)

Answer 2

multiply both sides by t

2=-6t

divide both sides by -6

-2/6 = t

simplify

-1/3 = t

note: in a fraction, it doesn't matter which number has a the minus sign, if there is an odd number the whole equation becomes odd

Answer 3

2/t=-6

1/t=-6/2

t=2/-6

t=-2/6 in words, t is equal to negative two sixths

Answer 4

multiply each side by t and you get 2 = -6t. Then divide each side by -6 and you get 2/-6=t, in lowest terms - 1/3=t
