    you posted the correction on another post, but in the future, it's best to just edit your current post.

    you meant

    2t - 0.16 = 0

    well, you would naturally solve for t... so add 0.16 to both sides

    2t = 0.16

    now, inverse fractions are just that, fractions that are inverted or "turned upside down"

    Normally, you would divide by 2, or just multiply the inverse, which is (1/2)

    (1/2) 2t = (0.16)(1/2)

    and you get

    t = your answer

    You need to find 't'? Simple, first add 0.16 on both sides, you'll end up with 2t=0.16. Then divide both sides by 2.

    Hope I helped you...

    EDIT: Hey they merged the two threads!
