t + -4 = 5.099019514

Simplifying
t + -4 = 5.099019514

Reorder the terms:
-4 + t = 5.099019514

Solving
-4 + t = 5.099019514

Solving for variable 't'.

Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + 4 + t = 5.099019514 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + t = 5.099019514 + 4
t = 5.099019514 + 4

Combine like terms: 5.099019514 + 4 = 9.099019514
t = 9.099019514

Simplifying
t = 9.099019514

Subproblem 2
t + -4 = -5.099019514

Simplifying
t + -4 = -5.099019514

Reorder the terms:
-4 + t = -5.099019514

Solving
-4 + t = -5.099019514

Solving for variable 't'.

Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + 4 + t = -5.099019514 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + t = -5.099019514 + 4
t = -5.099019514 + 4

Combine like terms: -5.099019514 + 4 = -1.099019514
t = -1.099019514

Simplifying
t = -1.099019514

Solution
The solution to the problem is based on the solutions
from the subproblems.
t = {9.099019514, -1.099019514}
