Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of t to get t by itself how tall is Theresa in inches

p=paul's height

s=steve's height

t=theresa's height

p=s

1 and 1/2=3/2

1 and 1/3=4/3

p=-16+(3/2)t

s=-6+(4/3)t

p=s so

-16+(3/2)t=-6+(4/3)t

add 6 to both sides

-10+(3/2)t=(4/3)t

times both sides by 6 to clear fractions

-60+9t=8t

minus 9t both sides

-60=-t

times -1

60=t

t=60

theresa is 60 inches or 5ft

steve and paul are 84 inches or 7ft (wow!)
