Solve for t t-27=4t

$t - 27 = 4 t$

Step 1

Move all terms containing $t$ to the left side of the equation.

Subtract $4 t$ from both sides of the equation.

$t - 27 - 4 t = 0$

Subtract $4 t$ from $t$ .

$- 3 t - 27 = 0$

Step 2

Add $27$ to both sides of the equation.

$- 3 t = 27$

Step 3

Divide each term in $- 3 t = 27$ by $- 3$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 3 t = 27$ by $- 3$ .

$\frac{- 3 t}{- 3} = \frac{27}{- 3}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 3 t}{- 3} = \frac{27}{- 3}$

Divide $t$ by $1$ .

$t = \frac{27}{- 3}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $27$ by $- 3$ .

$t = - 9$
