\(12 - t = 16\)
Add t to both sides!
\(12 - t +t = 16+t\)
t will cancel out on the left hand side. We will be left with:
\(12 = 16+t\)
Subtract 16 on both sides!
\(12 -16 = 16 + t -16\)
16 will cancel out on the right hand side. We will be left with:
\(t = 12-16\\\\\boxed{\bf{t=-4}}\)
Your final answer is t = -4.
