Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

t + t + t = 12

Step 2: Solve for t

  1. Combine like terms (t):                    3t = 12
  2. Divide 3 on both sides:                   t = 4

Step 3: Check

Plug in t into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

  1. Substitute in t:                    4 + 4 + 4 = 12
  2. Add:                                    8 + 4 = 12
  3. Add:                                    12 = 12

Here we see that 12 does indeed equal 12.

∴ t = 4 is a solution of the equation.
