  The first thing you want to do is get the variable out of the denominator and into a numerator. To do that, multiply each term by (6-t):

  6.9(6-t) = (6 - t) * 1.0/(6 - t)

  Multiplied out, you get:

  41.4 - 6.9t = 1.0 Subtract 41.4 from each side

  -6.9t = -40.4 divide each side by -6.9

  t = 6

  (6-t) * 6.9 = 1 / (6-t) * (6-t) - multiply both sides - cancels out

  41.4 - 6.9t = 1 multiply out

  -6.9t = -40.4 subtract 41.4 from both sides

  t = 5.8551 divide by -6.9

  multiply both sides by 6-t

  [6-t]6.9=1

  41.4-6.9t=1

  6.9t=1-41.4 subtrate 41.4 to get t

  6.9t=-40.4 divide both sides by 6.9

  t=-5.85501

  multiply both sides by 6-t to remove the denominator.

  then you have

  6.9(6 - t) = 1.0

  distribute to both terms by 6.9

  41.4 - 6.9t = 1.0

  then subtract both sides by 41.4

  then you get

  -6.9t = -40.4

  divide both sides

  t = 0.145

  did that help??

  6.9(6 - t) = 1

  so, 41.4 - 6.9t = 1

  i.e. 40.4 = 6.9t

  then t = 40.4/6.9 = 5.86 ( 3 s.f. )
