Solve for t (-t)/2=12

$\frac{- t}{2} = 12$

Step 1

Multiply both sides of the equation by $\frac{2}{- 1}$ .

$\frac{2}{- 1} \cdot \frac{- t}{2} = \frac{2}{- 1} \cdot 12$

Step 2

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Simplify the left side.

Simplify $\frac{2}{- 1} \cdot \frac{- t}{2}$ .

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{2}{- 1} \cdot \frac{- t}{2} = \frac{2}{- 1} \cdot 12$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{1}{- 1} (- t) = \frac{2}{- 1} \cdot 12$

Combine $\frac{1}{- 1}$ and $t$ .

$- \frac{t}{- 1} = \frac{2}{- 1} \cdot 12$

Simplify the expression.

Move the negative one from the denominator of $\frac{t}{- 1}$ .

$- (- 1 \cdot t) = \frac{2}{- 1} \cdot 12$

Rewrite $- 1 \cdot t$ as $- t$ .

$- - t = \frac{2}{- 1} \cdot 12$

Multiply $- - t$ .

Multiply $- 1$ by $- 1$ .

$1 t = \frac{2}{- 1} \cdot 12$

Multiply $t$ by $1$ .

$t = \frac{2}{- 1} \cdot 12$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify $\frac{2}{- 1} \cdot 12$ .

Divide $2$ by $- 1$ .

$t = - 2 \cdot 12$

Multiply $- 2$ by $12$ .

$t = - 24$
