See a solution process below:

Divide each side of the equation by #color(red)(-2100)# to solve for #t# while keeping the equation balanced:

#(-2100t)/color(red)(-2100) = (-6000)/color(red)(-2100)#

#(color(red)(cancel(color(black)(-2100)))t)/cancel(color(red)(-2100)) = (60 xx -100)/color(red)(21 xx -100)#

#t = (60 xx color(red)(cancel(color(black)(-100))))/color(red)(21 xx color(black)(cancel(color(red)(-100))))#

#t = (3 xx 20)/color(red)(3 xx 7)#

#t = (color(red)(cancel(color(black)(3))) xx 20)/color(red)(color(black)(cancel(color(red)(3))) xx 7)#

#t = 20/7#
