Solving for Variables help

1. Solve the equation.

10(t-4) + 8t = 6(3t + 3) - 9

2. Solve the equation.
5 (t-2) + 3t= 4(2t+3) - 10

3. A manufacturer of bird feeders cuts spacers from from a tube that is 10 2/3 inches long. How many spacers can be cut from the tube if each spacer must be 2/3 inch thick?

10(t - 4) + 8t = 6(3t + 3) - 9
10t - 40 + 8t = 18t + 18 - 9
18t - 40 = 18t + 9
0 = 49
no solution

5(t - 2) + 3t = 4(2t + 3) - 10
5t - 10 + 3t = 8t + 12 - 10
8t - 10 = 8t + 2
0 = 12
no solution

(32/3) / (2/3)
(32/3)(3/2) = 16

1) No Solution

2) No Solution

1. the "t" s cancel out. it cant be solved
2. no solution
3. 16
