Chapter 4.4, Problem 17PPS

To determine

To calculate:To solve the equation and check the solution

Answer to Problem 17PPS

Solution is $t=16.5$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:Equation is $4.95=0.3t$

Calculation:

Given equation is as follows:

  $4.95=0.3t$

On solving the equation,

  $\begin{array}{l}0.3t=4.95\\ t=\frac{4.95}{0.3}\\ t=16.5\end{array}$

Now, in order to check the solution, substitute $t=16.5$ in equation $4.95=0.3t$

  $\begin{array}{l}RHS:0.3\left(16.5\right)\\ RHS:4.95\end{array}$

Since, $LHS=RHS$

Thus, $t=16.5$ is solution of equation $4.95=0.3t$

Hence,solution is $t=16.5$
