Question 2 \( 1 \mathrm{pts} \) Solve \( -5 \mathbf{t}-3+2 \mathbf{t}=24 \) 7 9 \( -7 \) \( -9 \)

Step 1 ：Combine like terms: \( -5t + 2t = -3t \)

Step 2 ：Add 3 to both sides: \( -3t + 3 = 24 + 3 \)

Step 3 ：Simplify: \( -3t = 27 \)

Step 4 ：Divide both sides by -3: \( \frac{-3t}{-3} = \frac{27}{-3} \)

Step 5 ：Solve for t: \( t = -9 \)
