if the question is written correctly where only the left side has the absolute value, then there is exactly 1 answer to the question (t=19).
If the absolute value had included the whole equation then there would be 2 answers
also, the user that said that -13/3 was an answer, that is incorrect. It yields 11.67 = -11.67, which is not correct

16+t = 2t-3
t=19
also
-(16+t)=2t-3
-16-t=2t-3
3t=-13
t= -13/3
Because absolute value only considers the magnitude of the distance from 0 and not the direction both directions need to be considered.
This one has 2 solutions.
