Transcript text: Solve for $t$.
\[
3 t-9<6 \text { and }-3 t<12
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
To solve the given inequalities, we need to solve each inequality separately and then find the intersection of the solutions. The first inequality is \(3t - 9 < 6\) and the second is \(-3t < 12\). After solving these inequalities, we will determine the range of \(t\) that satisfies both conditions.
Step 1: Solve the First Inequality
The first inequality given is:
\[
3t - 9 < 6
\]
To solve for \( t \), we first add 9 to both sides:
\[
3t - 9 + 9 < 6 + 9
\]
\[
3t < 15
\]
Next, divide both sides by 3:
\[
t < 5
\]
Step 2: Solve the Second Inequality
The second inequality given is:
\[
-3t < 12
\]
To solve for \( t \), divide both sides by -3. Remember that dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality sign:
