Question

solve each equation below.
$\frac{t - 2}{12}=\frac{7}{8}$

Explanation:

Step1: Cross - multiply

$8(t - 2)=7\times12$

Step2: Expand the left - hand side

$8t-16 = 84$

Step3: Add 16 to both sides

$8t=84 + 16$
$8t=100$

Step4: Divide both sides by 8

$t=\frac{100}{8}=\frac{25}{2}=12.5$

Answer:

$t = 12.5$
