Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define
-98 = 7t
Step 2: Solve for t
Divide 7 on both sides: -14 = t
Rewrite: t = -14
Step 3: Check
Plug in t into the original equation to verify it's a solution.
Substitute in t: -98 = 7(-14)
Multiply: -98 = -98
Here we see that -98 is equal to -98.
∴ t = -14 is the solution to the equation.
