t=2018

Explanation:

First put the 16 on the other side so that t is on its own.

14t=49+16

Find a common denominator, 18, so that the two fractions can be added together.

14t=8+318518

t4=518

18t=20

t=2018

t=109

Explanation:

First, bring the constants (a number on its own) to the right-hand side in order to isolate t. We end up with t on the left-hand side and the constants on the right-hand side. If we bring 16 over, we have to do the inverse operation. In this case, we do
addition like this:

t416=19
t4=19+16
t4=518

We can then cross multiply which is when we multiply the denominators and numerators that are diagonal to each other, like this:

t18=54
18t=20

All we have to do is to divide each side by 18 to get t by itself.

18t18=2018
t=109

Hope this helps you, mate.
